Summary

In the mid-19th century, China experienced its greatest civil war.  It was a conflict that set China on a course that eventually led to China’s Century of Humiliation and the fall of the Qing Dynasty. It wasn’t just a massive civil war; in terms of total lives lost, it was far and away the largest war in history up until that point, and by some estimates, it might even have been as or more devastating than the world wars of the 20th century.  Yet, despite being one of the greatest conflicts in history, it remains largely unknown in the modern world.  Learn more about the Taiping Rebellion and how it changed China on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
