6 Nov 1926 Jahr - Restoration of the Xuantong Emperor

Beschreibung:

Wu Peifu, at German insistence, pressures the remaining members of the Beiyang Assembly to declare the restoration of the Xuantong Emperor and call for the formation of a new government. All international treaties are announced to be upheld, but those made during the interregnum between 1911 and 1926 are declared illegitimate, notably including the Twenty One Demands. For roughly the next two years the Zhili/Qing military government in Beijing rules by fiat. The Germans for their part, looked on the state of Republican China and, desiring a more ‘stable’ partner to deal with, had requested Wu restore Puyi – intercine factional politics gave them little confidence of that, hence the demand.
