Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi (1906-1967) gained and lost the throne of China twice by the time he was eleven years old. He became an emperor for the third time, in Manchukuo, in a desperate attempt to use that position as a stepping stone to regain his Chinese throne. Ignored by Western historians and political scientists, Pu Yi is frequently not even mentioned by name in text books; he is simply dismissed as a Japanese puppet.

520 $a Aisin-Gioro Pu Yi (1906-1967) gained and lost the throne of China twice by the time he was eleven years old. He became an emperor for the third time, in Manchukuo, in a desperate attempt to use that position as a stepping stone to regain his Chinese throne. Ignored by Western historians and political scientists, Pu Yi is frequently not even mentioned by name in text books; he is simply dismissed as a Japanese puppet.
520 $a This dissertation uses original documents, memoirs, newspaper accounts, and other reference materials to place Pu Yi within the context of East Asian politics, geography, and history.
520 $a From 1894-1950, Russian and Japanese rivalry over the territory of Manchuria, and Chinese resolve to keep it, directly influenced Pu Yi's fate. For the Russians, Manchuria was a gateway to the Pacific Ocean and a buffer between them and the Chinese. By taking Manchuria, the Japanese established a foothold on the continent in their quest for territory and natural resources. As the hereditary liege of the Manchu people and their allies, the Mongols, Pu Yi was key to the three nations wanting to exploit the sensitive Sino-Russian border areas. His potency as a symbol was so important that he was a virtual or actual prisoner of one nation or another most of his life and, as such, peculiarly subject to the political shifts of fortune in East Asia.
520 $a Trapped between the death of one era and the birth of another, Pu Yi emerges as a complex personality, more than any of the simple epithets assigned him. Pu Yi was a prince, a puppet, and finally a pauper at the time of his death in the People's Republic of China. Despite the pathos of his life, Pu Yi was the last representative of the long-lived institution of the Chinese monarchy, and as the supreme representative of the Manchus, his importance to the area must be examined.
