Sinopsis de THE TAIPING REBELLION: UNDERSTANDING CHINA'S BLOODIEST MILLENARIAN CIVIL WAR

The Taiping Rebellion was the deadliest civil war in world history, claiming an estimated 20 to 30 million lives in 19th-century China. This book provides a detailed and authoritative analysis of this monumental conflict, which was led by Hong Xiuquan, a visionary who claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus Christ.
The author unveils the "hidden mechanics" of the rebellion, analyzing the unique blend of pseudo-Christian millenarianism, social grievances, and anti-Manchu sentiment that fueled the uprising. Explore the establishment of the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom," its radical social reforms, and its ultimate collapse due to internal conflicts and the joint efforts of the Qing Dynasty and foreign powers.
"The Taiping Rebellion: Understanding Chinas Bloodiest Millenarian Civil War" is an essential resource for historians, political scientists, and all interested in Chinese history and the dynamics of religious and millenarian conflicts. This book offers profound insights into the complex forces that shaped this devastating civil war and its enduring impact on Chinas historical trajectory.
