History
After the proclamation of the Chinese Republic by Sun Yat-Sen in 1911 and the separation of numerous provinces throughout China, the Qing dynasty, installed in 1644 by the Manchu clan Aisin-Goro was removed a year later by the Imperial Edict of Empress Dowager Longyu bringing the abdication of the Child Emperor, Pu Yi, then six years old; he stayed as the former Emperor of China, installed in the Forbidden City at the expense of the Chinese Republic, before being expelled by one of the numerous warlords who shattered China during this era. The Chinese Republic stood despite anarchy and some anecdotal events as short-lived Empire of general Yuan Shikai (1916) and a twelve days-long recrowning of Pu Yi by warlord Zhang Xun (1917).
In the 20's, German Chancellor von Tirpitz, fearing that a Chinese Civil War would bring instability in Asia, decided of an intervention in China. In a few months, German colonial armies controlled Eastern China and divided the country in two zones : the south under administration of German companies, the north under a restored Qing Empire ruled by collaborationist native politicians. As former emperor Pu Yi, since his exile in Tientsin, was dealing with the Japaneses, Germans prefered his father, Zaifeng, the Prince Chun, who was installed as Gongde Emperor. The Qing Empire is now a shadow of its former self: it lost its dignity as an independent country, its economy is in the hands of the German trusts, and even its legitimacy is disputed, challenged by Zhang Guotao and his puritan revolters.
