Scenarios about 'Manchu'
The Manchu were a Tungusic ethnic group native to Northeast Asia who established the Qing Dynasty that ruled China from 1644 to 1912. They developed a distinctive cultural identity, including their own language and writing system, while implementing policies of both cultural preservation and assimilation during their rule. In alternate history scenarios, the Manchu often feature in explorations of different outcomes for the Qing Dynasty, Chinese modernization efforts, or scenarios where Manchu cultural identity remained more distinct from Han Chinese influence.
