Guangxu Emperor
1871 CE–1908 CE · Beijing
The Guangxu Emperor (1871-1908) was the eleventh emperor of China's Qing dynasty, reigning nominally from 1875 to 1908 under the dominant influence of his aunt, the Empress Dowager Cixi. In 1898 he backed the Hundred Days' Reform, an ambitious program of modernization drafted by reformers such as Kang Youwei, but Cixi and conservative officials suppressed it in a coup and placed him under effective house arrest for the rest of his life. He died in November 1908, one day before Cixi; later forensic testing indicated he died of acute arsenic poisoning.
