Puyi

Also known as Henry Puyi, Xuantong, Yaozhi, Kangde, Henry Pu-yi, Kang-te Emperor, Haoran

Puyi (; 7 February 190617 October 1967) was the last emperor of China, reigning as the eleventh monarch of the Qing dynasty from 1908 to 1912, and a brief return in 1917, when he was forced to abdicate. Later, he sided with Imperial Japan and was made ruler of Manchukuo—Japanese-occupied Manchuria—in hopes of regaining power as China's emperor. After over 10 years of imprisonment for war crimes following the end of World War II, Puyi worked for four years as a gardener in Beijing, China.

AI overview

Puyi was the last emperor of China, ruling the Qing dynasty briefly from 1908 to 1912 and again in 1917 before being forced to give up power. His life is historically significant because it spans China's transition from imperial rule to modern times, and because he later collaborated with Japan during World War II as a puppet ruler of Manchukuo, leading to his imprisonment for war crimes after the war ended.

When the Guangxu Emperor died without an heir, Empress Dowager Cixi picked two year old Puyi, the nephew of the late emperor, to succeed him as the Xuantong Emperor. Puyi's father, Zaifeng, Prince Chun, served as regent before Puyi was forced to abdicate as a result of the Xinhai Revolution, which ended two millennia of imperial rule and established the Republic of China.
