The Taiping Revolution, also known as the Taiping Rebellion, was a massive civil war in China that lasted from 1850 to 1864. Led by Hong Xiuquan, who claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ, the movement sought to establish a theocratic state based on a unique interpretation of Christianity and radical social reforms. It resulted in the deaths of an estimated 20 to 30 million people, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in history. The rebellion ultimately failed, but it significantly weakened the Qing Dynasty and contributed to social and political upheaval in China.
