	Ming Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The beginning of the Ming dynasty was one of Ming military conquests as they sought to perpetuate their hold on power.
		The fall of the Ming Dynasty was a protracted affair, its roots beginning as early as 1600 with the emergence of the Manchu state under Nurhaci.
		However they were never able to capitalise on their victories and from 1629 onwards the Ming were wearied by a combination of internal strife and constant harrassment of Northern China by the Manchu; who had turned to raiding tactics so as to avoid facing the Ming armies in open battle.
