Legacy of the Qing dynasty

As a Manchu-led imperial dynasty of China and an early modern empire in East Asia, the legacy of the Qing dynasty has been significant and enduring. As the last imperial dynasty in Chinese history, it is generally agreed that the Qing dynasty had major impact in China, laying the foundation for the modern Chinese state as a geographic and ethnic entity.^[1] Additionally, it had varying degrees of influence in surrounding countries (such as Russia and Mongolia) and other parts of the world.
