This Mad Chinese Messiah Led A Conflict Larger Than World War 1

[@arthurbriand2175]

The Taiping rebellion is like an unhinged fantasy apocalyptic war but in real life with a dark prophet and a failing emperor.

Chinese Civil War death tolls are always... something.... the An Lushan and Taiping Rebellions the most extreme cases on how bloody their civil wars can be...

[@deangeloellis729]

Hong: I'm Jesus's brother! Qing: Shut the hell up! Hong:....Make me! *20 plus million dead*

[@javijavinomi6282]

I only knew about the Taiping rebellion very recently. Its beyond belief how westernised our view of history is. With 20-30 million people dead, youd think itd be a big deal. Makes one think that the Mongols are remembered as much considering how far west they got.

[@max-cs9ko]

Watch 'The Warlord' of Jet lee, it's based on it

[@ImaStupidNobody]

80 to 100 million people died in China during the cultural revolution due to Mao Zedong's policies and mistakes. Most passed away from the famines.

[@Attikon_The_New_Kid]

no way our history is Westernised? it's almost like we live in the west or something lol.

[@Hwje1111]

Well for one the scale of the Mongols tends to make them very hard to ignore.

Average Chinese Civil War

[@alpaniaball]

India and China has both the largest birth rates and death rates

[@Taegreth]

Chinese history is so fascinating, I only recently started learning about it and Japan's. There must be a lot of it to cover due to the historical population size and land mass. I wonder if it's the region with the most recorded history, but if not, which region would be?

[@skraskraa._.5371]

China definitely has one of the longest traditions of recording history

[@bruh1160]

Shortly after the taiping rebellion, the dungan rebellion started with an estimated death toll of 10-20 million. Please make a video about that

[@phatatbui3316]

I believe that he was far more dangerous than Hitler due to the fact that he ultimately used religion and patriotism as powerful tools to establish his dream heavenly kingdom. However, considering the Chinese point of view, we could share a little bit of sympathy as that is the only way to strengthen the Chinese peoples so that he could unifies the country and have a chance to stand against great colonial superpowers.

[@brc123321]

And the result would have been the thousands of years old Chinese culture based on Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism would have been destroyed. It would have been birth of another major abrahamic religion in the world after Christianity and Islam. And like they who destroyed all the indigenous cultures of Europe, America Continents and middle east respectively Taipings too would have destroyed all previous Chinese civilizations denoting them demonic. In fact all small countries around China would have been attacked subsequently. Taipings belived in revolution and conquest. Thank God it failed quick enough so that it could not live any continuous legacy, unlike Islam

[@ssaepa1]

North Korea doesn’t sound much different.

[@JoyTheLazyCatLady]

The atrocities in the name of religion that so-called humans perpetrate on others is mind boggling.

[@OlliGarch]

I agree I’ve never understood why difference in religion makes people kill each other.

If you think that is bad you should see what communists have done.

​@@Mizionaree776what's with your worthless preaching?

[@akashlouis128]

@JoyTheLazyCatLady "religious wars" are a misnomer, most of them had political or economical reasons which has caused many of the modern scholarship to reject the concept almost entirely. According to the encyclopedia of war of about 6% of wars had religion as a primary cause half of which is attributed to Islam

[@MsPauapearl]

Thanks for covering this topic well. At 2:33, though, the Opium Wars were between the Qing dynasty versus the British East India Company and the British Empire. This is more than just England. At 8:27 the word MEN is under the symbols for women and the word WOMEN is under the symbols for men. Many Chinese emigrated to the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand at this time, because the Taiping Rebellion was so brutal.

[@swineflu7953]

Hong never claimed himself an emperor nor became one.

Please, stop with the incessant Hitler obsession. Hitler was not just a frustrated artist- you obviously didn't study his life at all and his disillusionment following WWI that he ascribed to treason by certain peoples. At least get your facts straight. If you interpret Hitler so simplistically, it casts serious doubts on your interpretation of Hong Xiuquan.

Hong Xiuquan's hatred toward the Manchu people also stemmed from the oppression of the Han people by the Manchu rulers. Under the rule of the Qing dynasty, the Han people did not have an easy life, as they were regarded as inferior by the Manchu rulers. In the past, the Manchus had carried out large-scale massacres and cultural eradication targeting the Han people.

[@孙笑氚556]

Historically, the Manchu rulers issued orders requiring Han Chinese to shave their heads into the Manchu queue hairstyle, under the threat of execution, and prohibited them from wearing their traditional clothing. As a result, Hong Xiuquan adopted the act of cutting off queues and growing out one’s hair as a symbol of resistance against Qing rule. While some of Hong Xiuquan's actions were indeed reprehensible, considering the historical context, his hatred was not entirely without cause
