The chinese state during the political and socio-economic crisis of the early 16th - mid-17th

Abstract

This article analyzes the causes of the crisis in Minsk China in the early 16th — mid 17th centuries. The authors investigate a complex of factors that caused a sharp deterioration in the domestic and foreign policy situation of the Chinese state during this period. The article also examines the objective and subjective reasons that led to the complete decline of the country and, as a result, to the collapse of the Minsk Empire in the fight against Manchurian aggression in the 1640s.
