      The American Revolution is honestly pretty extraordinary for how little chaos there actually was during and afterwards. Even under our first attempt at a national government, the basically powerless "League of Friendship" (no, really, that's what it was referred to in the articles of confederation), the disorder was limited and things kept running relatively normally.

      It is strange to hear in the West, but the Cultural Revolution was actually a peasant based revolution against the establishment wing of the Communist Party, with the help of Mao (who in his later years was being relegated by his peers). The Communist Party itself was not as extreme as them, and in fact it preserved many of the institutions and personnel of the late Qing period.
      Many red guards even had standoffs with the official Red Army and they commited arson, stole weapons and carried out armed fights among other groups. Many officials and academy heads which were in line with mainstream Communist Party line were punished by them in a context out of the laws. This is why for many Chinese the Cultural Revolution was a dark period (Xi Jinping himself did lose family members). So you can very well say that Mao used an uprising to his advantage. After the Cultural Revolution Mao's wife was sentenced to death based on this, and ex-red guards were purged. You can see it in "The Three Body Problem" books even.

      Just so- the big subcontinental geographic regions of Eurasia are 'Europe', Middle East/Southwest Asia, Central Asia as a sort of hub, China, and India [the whole subcontinent] and SE Asia. All have always exchange culture and peoples to some degree, but all also have a lot of geographic, physical separation. It's somewhat accident of history that we have been given reason to think of China as one country, India also to a lesser extent. It's a very modern and retrospective take. They are actually civilizational regions, and if a western comparison is needed it's all of Europe, not one small state.
      Heck, even Chinese provinces have usually had larger populations than any one European ethno-region or state. It was a huge deal that early modern France had 20 million people.

      in mainland you can pick natural or social-oriented science in traditional schools. hostory class focuses much more on recent stuff, aka the century of humiliation, as it was p much the only time china failed to be a giant regional or even superpower. natural science pickers still know the most iconic ones just from how many idioms and integral cultural components these civil wars spawned lol

      This figure is the highest estimate, and comes from the 'black book of communism', a book which is discredited by... *checks notes* LITERALLY EVERYONE who has ever studied the matter seriously. This is the same book which counts nazi soldiers, and unborn people during wartime as 'victims of communism'. Not infant mortality, not aborted fetuses, not miscarriages, but babies that would have been born, if there wasn't a war.
      And if your first reaction is to go "it was still a lot of people, why are you running defense for commie China", well... This is the equivalent of responding to someone who correctly points out that 6 million jews perished in the holocaust, not 60 million, with 'why are you antisemitic?'.
      Numbers matter, because historical truth matters. Your numbers do not stand scrutiny. And it's pretty crazy that you come in here to 'aCsHuALLy' about the real numbers, when your source is literally a book written by a guy, WHOSE OWN COLLEAGUES, involved in writing the book, said that he was obsessed with arriving to 100 million, no matter whether it was true or not.

    Posted this copypasta elsewhere but might as well post here:
    Fun facts about An Lushan:
    -He was the son of a sorceress and his name meant "war"
    -He disobeyed his commander changing into a enemy army and got crushed
    -He would've been executed for this but his superior liked him so the decision was given to the Emperor
    -He met the Emperor and forgot to bow to his son and justified it saying he was a barbarian so he didnt know it any better
    -The Emperor found this adorable
    -He then bowed also to the Empress, which confused the Emperor
    -He said it was because barbarians kneeled to mom before dad, which the Emperor also found adorable
    -In fact the Emperor liked him so much that instead of executing him he adopted him and married him to his daughter
    -When the Emperor died An Lushan thought his "brother" the prince who's now the new Emperor would execute him for the one time he forgot to bow to him
    -The new Emperor actually wanted to make him his chancellor
    -To do that the Emperor sent a eunuch to test his character to see if he was worthy being chancellor
    -He bribed the Eunuch
    -The new Emperor thought the eunuch was saying bullshit, killed him and sent another to test his adopted "brother" wholeheartedly believing his character
    -He bribed the other eunuch too
    -The Emperor then asked him to come to the capital so they could talk because surely those eunuchs were lying and he could make him his chancellor
    -An Lushan panicked so badly he went to hide in his province not daring to leave his house and not going even to celebrations and burials where the Emperor would be
    -The Emperor then appointed his rival who wanted him to answer for his bribery as chancellor, which he thought confirmed that the Emperor wanted to kill him
    -He then led a army to siege the capital so he could capture the Emperor and make his "brother" be friends with him again once he executed his rival chancellor
    -His rival used this as proof he wanted to usurp the throne all along and they had his whole family executed
    -He understandably lost it when his family got executed so he tried to usurp the throne for real by proclaming his own dynasty
    -He lost because the Sieg of Suiyang took too long giving time for the Tang to recover and was it's own level of mind-fuckery, just search the meme "strategic Tang Victory"
    -He was killed by his own son who sent an assassin to stab him
    -He was too obese to grab his sword or even move, also blind, so the assassin just akwardly stabbed him once and his organs popped out like a fart
    - Did I say he was obese? I mean it, he apparently crushed a horse to death once with his ass trying to ride it
    -Anyways his last words were "THERE'S A THIEF IN MY HOUSE" or "THIS IS A THIEVE FROM MY OWN HOUSEHOLD"
    -The later is more likely meaning he knew it was his son who did it but the former is funnier because I like to imagine him thinking he was being randomly muggled
    -After his death and defeat of his dynasty he actually received a traditional Tang burial given to a royal prince cause they were more disappointed with him than anything else
    -His post-death name given by the Emperor simply meant "unthinking" because of his recklessness, but I personally prefer to translate it as "stupid"
    Seriously it was the stupidest war ever
    Also it killed a higher percentage of the human population than any other conflict in history, roughly 1/6 of the global population in the highest estimates
