The last emperor of China was Hsian-T'sung who was forced to abdicate his position on February 12, 1912. This forcing of him to abdicate ended the Manchu rule in China and over 2,000 years of imperial control over China. He was the last emperor for 4 years and was put into this position at just the age of 2 after his uncle Kuang-hsu died. With him being so young at the time of being emperor, decisions were made by a regency and in the mean time he was being trained by them for his upcoming rule as the emperor of China. This did not happen however because the emperor fell when he was just 6 years old to the Sun Yat Sen revolution. After this happened, Hsian changed his name to Henry Pu Yi and moved to Japan where he created his own empire yet again.
