Conquered by Japanese. Read from the article's section “History - World War II and decline” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

Rulers
Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen Victoria | 1881 – 1901 | 20 years | ending not on record | |
| George VI | 1936 – 1942 | 6 years | ending not on record |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1881 – 1942. Median reign 13 years. 0 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
