In 1590, Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan. At that time, China was still in the Ming Dynasty, but Nurhachi, the Jurchen hero from Northeast China, had already unified various tribes and formed the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty. Fifty years later, in 1644, the Jurchens replaced the Ming Dynasty, becoming the rulers of China, establishing their capital in Beijing and naming their dynasty the Great Qing.
