Chinese Empresses
The Qing dynasty. (1644–1911) was founded by a northeast Asian people who called themselves Manchus. Their history, language, culture, and identity were distinct from the Chinese population, whom they conquered in 1644 when China was weakened by internal rebellions.
Out of more than two dozen Qing empresses, only four entered the court with the status of empress.
