Although the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864) was put down by the Chinese government, the result was horrific losses of some twenty million dead (or twice that of WW1).
The Taiping Rebellion was the most devastating event suffered by China in the 19th Century. It was lead by one man, Hong Xiuquan, said to have been born in the south of China. In 1847 Hong failed the imperial examinations for the third time and is said to have been delirious for 30 days. When he recovered, he believed that he and his band of believers had been chosen to conquer China, destroy the demon Manchu rulers, and establish the Taiping Tiangu ( the Heavenly Kingdom of Great Harmony).
Gathering followers from the millions of desperately poor Chinese peasants, he built an army and political organization that swept across China. They made their way to central China and by the late 1850s controlled over a third of the country. Their movement was so strong and so popular that it took the central government fourteen years to defeat them. Not until 1864 was the rebellion finally defeated. It is estimated that the rebellion cost more than twenty million lives, or twice that of World War I.
