The Taiping Rebellion was a civil war that occurred in China between the ruling Qing dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was a state located in Tianjin who opposed the ruling dynasty. This conflict lasted around 14 years. From 1850 to 1864 CE.

The major motivation for the revolution was the conversion of Chinese society, including reforms like the introduction of Christianism and changes in government policy. The leader of the revolution named Hong Xiuquan was a converted Christian and he also claimed he was the brother of Jesus Christ. The conflict is considered as the bloodiest in history, with a total death toll ranging from 70 million to 100 million.

The outcome of the revolution was the defeat of the Heavenly Kingdom in 1864 and subsequent vanquishing of God worshippers. by the Qing Dynasty. However, it also led to a loss of power by the central government in regards to the provinces and the rising of provincial armies.
