On the 12th of February 1912 Puyi, China’s Last Emperor, abdicated. China now commenced into uncharted political territory: it became a republic. One day after Puyi’s abdication, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, provisional president of the Chinese republic, abdicated in favour of general Yuan Shikai, given that he’d respect the Chinese republic. Yuan Shikai had other plans however, among which eventually reinstating the monarchy. Not for nostalgic and sentimental reasons, though. No… he himself would be the emperor of China.
