china source 3

  1. http://www.mnsu.edu/
  2. Emuseum is the source.
  3. Credentials are none.
  4. The source says that the Qing Dynasty was the second time when all of China was ruled by foreigners, the Manchu. The first was during the Yuan Dynasty when China was completely controled by the Mongols. In terms of government, the Qing Dynasty adopted the form of government used by the Ming, with only minor adjustments. For example the positions were all dual positions, one Manchu and one Chinese were in the same position, with the Manchu having more power. The form of military organization that the Qing used was one of the best in the world. They organized their troops under banners, each of which was a separate unit. The number of banners grew from 8 in the beginning to 24. These fighting men were personally attached to the emperor, in fact he owned them. They were incredibly loyal to the emperor. The bannermen also functioned as a talent pool from which civil bureaucrats could be chosen.
  5. Yes I believe the source because it has artifacts from the Qing Dynasty in its museum so it shows that the facts that it talks about is true.
