What was the last of the Chinese dinasties?

The last of the Chinese dynasties was the Qing Dynasty, which ruled from 1644 until 1912. It fell due to internal strife, external pressures, and the rise of revolutionary movements, leading to the establishment of the Republic of China. The Qing Dynasty is notable for its expansion of territory and cultural achievements, but its decline marked the end of over two millennia of imperial rule in China.
