APEX AGE: MODERN
As the Ming Dynasty shuddered under financial strain, a challenge appeared from its frontier – the Manchu, who were to establish the Qing Dynasty. The Qing led a new era, incorporating the Han Chinese majority and Manchu rulers together in a new, industrial and expansionist order. They claimed new dominions in neighboring states, even as they fought against European imperial ambitions.
