     The Dowager Empress Cixi (1835-1908) was a Manchu Noblewoman who controlled the government during the latter decades of the Qing Dynasty as regent from 1861 until her death in 1912.
     She was succeeded by the future emperor Pu Yi who while still a small child of just two years old was personally chosen by the Dowager Empress herself to sit on the Dragon Throne.
