Later Chin
Quick Summary
The Later Jin, also known as the Manchu dynasty, was established by Nurhachi, a chieftain of the Jianzhou Juchen tribe. He unified the Juchen tribes and created a Manchu state with a written script and the banner system for military and administrative organization. Nurhachi proclaimed himself khan and his dynasty Jin, or Later Jin, in 1616, indicating a continuation of the earlier Juchen Jin dynasty. His ambition led to attacks against the Chinese Ming dynasty, and although he died in 1626, his successors, particularly his son Dorgon, completed the conquest of China and established the Qing dynasty in 1644.123
