We were going to use the old flag but decided to use this one because people would be able to recognize it more easily for the quick visual joke. You're right though.
photo at 9:50 is his brother, pujie. Also Japanese Concession in Tianjin was still there in the 1930s after the Warlord Era. Baby in the boiler was in the Manchukuo period.
I feel very sorry for this man because he was the quintessential victim of circumstances, victimized by factors and circumstances totally outside his control. May his soul rest in peace.
"Yuan Shi-Kai" was the man's full name, and would have been referred to by his family name "Yuan" and never by his personal name "Shi-Kai". When he was temporary president he was a President Yuan. Chinese names are written with family names first, not in the European way of "first name the last name" Calling him Shi-Kai would be like calling Abraham Lincoln, President Abraham.
Puyi believed he was going to rule Manchukuo from Mukden, but instead the Japanese made Xinjing the new capital and housed him in an old salt tax office, which became his new palace.
Really sloppy of you to use the modern People's Republic of China's flag for the Republic in the early 1910''s when the Communist Party didn't come into power till 1949 instead of Republic's(aka Modern Taiwan)flag
it’s a terrible example. Also, he probably meant that the Chinese state existed as an empire for 2000 years, not that it was ruled by the same family all this time.
Every dynasty is different in all matters from cultures and military and economic and ethnic its all different matters. the region is still the same but locals still the same
@@Cubby9999 No, they were all the same culture and continuations of eachother. Each dinasty was an empire of its own right, but also a continuation of the previous ones
Yeh was a tragic figure. He made mistakes, like double crossing Japan and declaring himself the true leader of China. But he had no real good choices either. This situation was impossible.
there's several mistakes in the video such as using pictures of young Puyi from the movie, using picture of Puyi's brothers instead of Puyi. Also using the picture of a concubine Cixi killed claiming it to be Cixi. As well as skipping over the tenth of thousands murdered japanese biological warfare testing on the people of manchuria . You really need somebody to fact check your videos before posting man
Couldn’t help, but notice our narrator said “the evil, communist Mao” near the end of this video aren’t you supposed to take some kind of journalistic neutrality when narrating? However, this is a really good channel.
You say that like he'd know how Tze is meant to be pronounced. That's not a string of characters in any English word. I'm not saying this to be disrespectful of her name, but if you don't speak a language that has certain sounds or tones then you are unlikely to replicate them in a way that sounds even vaguely correct for a native speaker.
@@benjaminfranklin329 He wouldn’t know, but maybe he should do a fraction of the amount of research that he already did on this video to learn the proper pronunciations of the names.
@@benjaminfranklin329 He did all that research, and not once did IPA of the name came up? Even if you don't read IPA, how did "Sir Ji" came about? There is no S, nor is there a J.
He never _ruled._ He was always a puppet and a prisoner. The irony was that he was most free as a vilified disgraced figure living under a Communist regime.
It seems like countries usually get better when nations decide to put the rich people to death. French Revolution improved conditions in France. Chinese revolution improved conditions in China. China was actually better under Mao even if it still kinda sucked. Take a page from history. We don't need our rich oligarchs. We're better off without them. Was there ever a time in history where giving more money and power to the rich actually worked for anybody but the rich? I can't think of any historical event where that was the case.
You really do not know about those events if you say that. Considering the French Revolution was known to be one of the most bloody pages of French history. Same thing with China's revolution. Revolutions being good for the common man are an anomaly.
"It seems like countries usually get better when nations decide to put the rich people to death. " Except it is nothing like that. The French Revolution was instigated by the rich. For the poor it was almost as bad as before. Did you forget about the reign of terror? China was able to get better because it industrialized. Mao was a pretty shitty leader and not much different from the previous emperors. The only reason he even allowed for industrialization to proceed was because he liked showing off. Even the way he went about was pretty bad. He even allowed for farm tools to be smelted in order to meet the high steel quotas he imposed. This resulted in a lot of people dying. If you took a page from history you would realize oligarchs never left. The previous oligarchs were those who held military power while the new ones were the ones who hold wealth and money. Literally the French Revolution and similar revolutions were about giving tangible power to the rich who held no real authority till then.
revolution is about the worst thing a society can go through, besides a plague. revolution usually means civil war and who do u imagine make up the rank and file of the 2 armies... the battles are fought on their own land... villages and food stuffs put to the torch to hurt the other side... and when famine comes from noone being around to harvest the crops, who di u think gets fed first? the military or the peasants? see October revolution time of troubles most regimes dont give up power without a fight.. read a book, your statement is incredibly naïve.
Not defending his horrible antics and behavior (i mean he boiled a child). But he was abused from day one, used by everyone in his life, had unlimited power that was stripped away. Like he was so out of sorts not living the big life that he joined an enemy faction in his own country. Blunders you could only make if you were a spoiled, abused, broken person imo.

When you’re so last emperor, you start breaking records of being last emperor
This guy last emperored so hard, he did it thrice. And only one was on purpose.

Puyi as a toddler : Ruling the Qing Dynasty with an iron fist
Me as a toddler : Watching SpongeBob and eating cheetos
You're just not given the opportunity to have power
Stealing away a powerful child’s moral leader at the age of 8 is a wild decision
It's not that wild. Moral leader is a powerful position on itself in that case
Puyi is just a child who is way over his head and it was only a matter of time for him to fall
Using the PRC flag for Imperial China is .... An interesting choice?

Actually，Chinese people tend to call historical character full name or nickname，“Yuan shikai”or“Big head Yuan”
Sometimes，"personal name+job position" is more intimate，especially in the dialect of northern provinces. It's hard to clarify the tiny difference
Puyi believed he was going to rule Manchukuo from Mukden, but instead the Japanese made Xinjing the new capital and housed him in an old salt tax office, which became his new palace.
Wonderful and interesting piece. Thats such a complicated time in history, you made it very interesting. Thank you!

The empire did not last 2000 years, every dynasty is its own era. Its like calling the Catholic church a continuation of the Roman empire.
You mean The Vatican; the last remnants of The Roman Empire

Hey, Yuan shi kai died of sickness, he was not being executed for sure.
Did he not have a heart attack?
Uhm... Yuan Shikai was not executed. He died of some illness.
Guy had a chosen one complex

Dont worry, Winnie the Pooh will bring back imperial China

They should have let the dynasty have its reforms

There many diffrent empires
He murdered a child. I don’t have much sympathy for him
he done alot worse things then that
@@Brandonhayhew without a single doubt. As the puppet emperor, he committed atrocities that would have gotten him executed
puyi was product of the times and his constraints. he had no free will or free choice. He was merely a tool for whoever held actual power.

I mean he’s bri ish
