What was the extent of Japanese influence in China in 1938?

The Japanese were still in the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in 1938, and they had recently taken the KMT (The Chinese Nationalist Government is the KMT) capitol of Nanking as well as Shanghai. At this point, the Japanese were making quick work of the Chinese army with their highly industrialized military and basically un-opposed air superiority. Japan also had a puppet regime in Manchukuo (formerly and currently known as Manchuria, the Northern section of China) and had established the deposed Qing Dynasty emperor, Puyi, as their token ruler. During this time, Japan ratified a puppet regime in the Northern section of China known as Manchuria. The Japanese elected Puyi, the dethroned Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, as their leader.


What was the cause of the Qing Dynasty?

The constant bullying from the Foreign nations (Unequal Treaties) against the Qing Dynasty during the late 19th century because of their weak military compared to the Western nations' superior and advanced technology. This led to uprisings and rebellions, the Wuchang Uprising succeeded on October the 10th, 1911, and was followed by a proclamation of a separate central government, the Republic of China. The collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1912 brought an end to over 2,000 years of imperial China and began an extended period of instability of warlord factionalism. The unorganized political and economic systems combined with a widespread criticism of Chinese culture led to questioning and doubt about the future.


Did Emperor XuanTong choose a crown prince as his successor before he died although the Chinese Qing empire had fallen?

Emperor XuanTong's name is Puyi. Puyi was enthroned at the age of three in 1908 by West Empress Dowager, Cixi, who was the actual ruler of China at that time. XuanTong was the reign name. He was forced to give up the throne by Yuan Shikai, a general and careerist, after Xinhai Revolution launched by Sun Yat-sen in 1911. So you know, it was too early for him to choose a crown prince and a 5 or 6-year-old emperor couldn't have any princes or princesses. He was remitted after the establishment of People's Republic of China in 1949 and even became a committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference of PRC and met with Mao Zedong. He died of cancer in 1967.
