Today we are joined by /u/EnclavedMicrostate, who is a flaired user on
AskHistorians on the Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion. Together
with guest host Bernardito, we talk about a conflict with many
misconceptions: The Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864). We explore the
myths, the realities and the actual history behind the rebellion to
explore this critical moment in 19th century Chinese history. Is it
true that over 20 million people were killed in this conflict? Who
truly was the leader of the Taiping? This, and much more, in this
fascinating episode.
