We are back to finish up the life of Empress Cixi of China. When we last left Cixi, she and her best friend had staged a coup to take over as the effective leaders as regent for her 5 year-old son.

Over the next 50 years, Cixi would rule China and attempt to bring them into the modern age. But things were complicated. Cixi faced several rebellions. The Boxer rebellion, for instance, has been a stain on her reputation even til today.

Dowager Empress Cixi has gone down in history as ruthless and heartless, but that just isn't the whole story. We hop you enjoy!
