Answer: Manchu tribesmen and government protesters rebelled against the dynasty.
Explanation: The Ming were weakened for decades by corruption, fiscal crisis, famines and epidemics, and widespread peasant uprisings. In 1644 the rebel leader Li Zicheng captured Beijing (the emperor committed suicide), and shortly after Ming general Wu Sangui invited Manchu forces in to defeat Li. The Manchus then seized power and established the Qing, so internal rebellion plus Manchu invasion finally toppled the Ming.
