  During the Xinhai Revolution, there were numerous proposals advocating for the replacement of the Manchu-led Qing dynasty by a new dynasty of Han ethnicity. <br><br>Kong Lingyi (孔令貽), a 76th-generation descendant of Confucius and the Duke of Yansheng, was identified as a potential candidate for Chinese emperorship by Liang Qichao.<br><br>Meanwhile, gentry in Anhui and Hebei supported a restoration of the Ming dynasty under Zhu Yuxun (朱煜勳), the Marquis of Extended Grace.<br><br>Both suggestions failed to materialize.

  Scenario idea: What if Castile unified with Portugal and left Aragon to their own devices?

  China without a dynasty does not seem like real China at all 🙁

  If Teddy Roosevelt stayed in power, Kaiser Wilhelm II would&apos;ve been able to form his German-American-Chinese Axis

  That seems like a great scenario, but also I would probably have the Hongxian Emperor survive longer, possibly if he didn&apos;t catch uremia, making him live as far as 1939-1941, even doing all that Yuntan Emperor would, just my modification of of the scenario.

  Here’s one, what if Spain invaded (and conquered) the Ming dynasty in 1570s. They had a plan to, but they decided against it due to various reasons.

  Ok great video, but the picture you used for Yuan Keding is a picture of Li Jing, a famous Chinese Xiangsheng (talk show) actor. No one will know but it is just very funny to see that because a random guy put it in a wiki post and now you are using it. Keep up!

  I’m pretty sure that, if Cixi had allowed reforms earlier, China would have continued to be a monarchy much longer, or even to this day.

  Scenario idea: What if the proposed Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth succeeded the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth?

  Kung Te-Chen’s a descendant of Confucius was also offered the throne by the Japanese during their occupation of China. He declined as he grew up in the Republic. If the Japanese did somehow manage to succeed in their eastern plan or carried it out earlier it’s entirely possible that his grandson would now be the emperor of China.
