Taiping Rebellion (China)
View through CrossRef
Lasting from 1850 to 1864, the Taiping Rebellion was the biggest social rebellion of China's imperial era and probably the most violent rebellion in world history, measured by the number of casualties. Led by Christian convert Hong Xiuquan, the rebels uprose in Guangxi province, next to Canton, established the Tai‐ping Heavenly Kingdom (“Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace”), and controlled large parts of southern China. The rebellion swept across most parts of the Qing Empire's 18 inner provinces, involved around 5 million troops, and killed more than 20 million people. The Taiping Rebellion is also well known for its charismatic leadership, Christian ideology, anti‐Manchu nationalism, and radical social reform. Despite its final failure, the rebellion directly influenced the Qing Empire's military, administrative, and fiscal structure and central–regional relationship.
