last emperor of china crossword clue

 The last emperor of China was Puyi. He reigned from 1908 to 1912, when the Qing dynasty was overthrown.

Puyi was born in 1906 to the Aisin-Gioro clan, which was the ruling family of the Qing dynasty. He was enthroned at the age of two after the death of his father, the Guangxu Emperor.

Puyi's reign was short-lived. In 1912, the Xinhai Revolution overthrew the Qing dynasty and established the Republic of China. Puyi was forced to abdicate and was put under house arrest.

Puyi was later released from house arrest and served as the puppet emperor of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo from 1932 to 1945. After World War II, he was captured by the Soviet Union and imprisoned. He was released in 1950 and lived in China until his death in 1967.

Puyi is a controversial figure. Some people see him as a victim of history, while others see him as a collaborator with the Japanese. His reign as emperor was brief, but it had a profound impact on Chinese history.
