Southern Ming

until 1662 · 17th century

The Southern Ming were the Ming loyalist regimes that continued to resist in southern China after the fall of Beijing to the Qing in 1644. They were gradually defeated, with the last claimant killed in 1662. Accounts of the Ming Empire treat them as the last phase of the dynasty.
