Manchu


 

The Manchu (Manchu: Manju; Chinese: ?? pinyin: M?nzú; often shortened to ?, M?n) are an ethnic group who originated in Manchuria. During the Manchu conquest, they conquered the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century and founded the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China until 1911.

Manchukuo

In 1931, the Japanese created a puppet state known as Manchukuo. By this time Manchuria was overwhelmingly Han Chinese, and even among the Manchus, this project failed to generate much genuine interest. It was abolished at the end of World War II, with its territory incorporated back into China.
