The second half of the 19th century in China was a period of rapid decline and unhappiness. There was much corruption and rebellion during this time. It was a period of economic decline and when foreign interests invaded China.
The political structure was a very uneven structure in the sense that it did not aspire to equality. The Imperial family – the Manchus – were at the top of the political structure. The Manchus were, and are, a minority who come from Manchuria. They governed from 1644 – 1911 and became nearly assimilated into China. Basically, the Manchus adopted the Chinese culture. When they first came into control, the court documentations were written in Manchu and in Chinese. Now, however, the Manchu language is hardly used.
