For those of you who haven't heard of this civil war, it was actually one of the deadliest civil war in the Chinese history, the causalities is between 20 million to 50 million. This civil war has severely weakened the whole empire, also another reason why the European powers could easily gained advantage on their attempts of colonization.
@@norwegianboyee it was the rebelion before this war. But this war still isnt civil lmao. Invading a foreign country and saying it's all was the civil war is not ok, do you know.
It's amazing and utterly horrifying how little territory the Taiping controlled (as say, compared to the Revolt of the Three Feudatories) and yet they managed to start a war that killed so many millions of people. Either way, good job, Kolchak!
In terms of land area the rebellion was not that big but they controlled some of the most heavily populated regions so their rebellion had far more people behind it than is immediately obvious.
People need to learn that large territories mean nothing. Most of the Chinese population live in relative (relative) proximity to the coast, and overall the core of the Chinese culture comes from that very eastern part of China. The rest (the westerner/central part, Manchuria in the north...) is secondary.
@@xenotyposIt’s true in southern China (south to Yangtze) that more costal area is more wealthy and important , but in the north,the whole Northern China plain also have huge population ,importance of culture, and food production, they didn’t concentrate at costal areas like southern, they speared across the plain, they only become secondary after the 80s when China reform the economic made the business and trading running more in costal. Taiping occupation of Southern China destroyed many wealthy southern provinces, especially Jiangxi and Anhui that are still poor today, other provinces like Zhejiang and Jiangsu also suffered but they’re costal, made them recover very well and become wealthy again.
You have to take into account that although they technically controlled most of China, the qing were fighting a guerilla war almost all over the country. Which is why the government was in exile in Manchuria during this period. The reach of the heavenly Kingdom went far further than its borders. They would turn up at your village and burn it down for paying taxes to the qing, then the qing would loot and burn down your village for failing to fight off the heavenly Kingdom. You can imagine quickly how casualties could build up. Roaming armies each tearing China apart to try to destroy the other.

I really appreciate this effort, and this is certainly the best map I've seen on the Taping. Good work. However, I am a historian of the Taiping period, and I noticed a few mistakes. Some big ones I noticed off the top of my head: 1) you show the Taiping occupying most of eastern Guangxi and southern Hunan in 1852-1853 much longer than they actually did. Qing forces followed close on the heels of Taiping as they marched north, retaking much of Guangxi as the moved into Hunan, and southern Hunan was lost before Wuhan was taken. 2)You show all of Zhejiang retaken by the Qing in January 1864, but most of Zhejiang north of Hangzhou (around Jiaxing) were held by the Taiping up to August although it was heavily contested. Nonetheless, this is a commendable effort as I understand the confusing, complex, and incomplete information available. I often get lost and confused about where certain players were at a certain time.
I think you have the point that maps are just too neat to represent everything and its complexity. And to me, the music is irrelevant to the presentation of maps.

In the case of Joseon, after losing the war with the Qing Dynasty, they established a brotherly relationship and maintained a tributary relationship thereafter, but since they maintained the status of an independent country, it seems a bit of an error to color them in the same color.

@@mariano98ify Mao JOINED the rebellion. Have your seen his video on "The Northern Expedition"? CCP was part of Leftist KMT on that map. Until the leader of leftist Wang Jingwei negotiated with Chiang. After Wang betrayed leftists, many of social democrats and other moderate leftists in KMT was killed in Shanghai by Chiang in a millitary coup like Kristallnacht in Germany. Who survived obeyed Chiang or fled with CCP. In the Ten marshalls of Mao, some of them used to be leftists in KMT. Including He Long and Peng Dehuai.
@@mariano98ify By the time, Mao was just a local CCP representitive. Leading a minor rebellion in Hunan Province, away from center of the show. But he developed his famous Guerrilla warfare theory during the time he led his little squad in Hunan mountains, and quickly became an important figure with leading his own CCP provincial government. But he was neither leader of the party nor sole commander of their army until as late as 1935, although he played important part in the central milltary commitee as a brilliant commander and inspiring commissar. After he successfully planned and guided the long march and secured CCP's position in North-western China, after major defeat back to south before he came in charge, Mao's leading position finally consolidated. That was early 1936.
this wasnt a civil war, whats with those memes? this is a religious Christian order doing evil things in a place where they shouldn't never even been in the first place supported by the western powers at first, an evil European experiment which went horribly wrong and later they understood it
Good mother of god, we might as well call this the true First Chinese Civil War. Good job on the video! I thought about doing this one day, but you did it much better then i ever could!
Honestly, what qualifies as a Civil war in Chinese history is a whole discussion on its own. Just the periodic fragmentation of the dynasties should be a category of its own
You, sir, are a legend, a 10+ years brutal conflict with few conflicting sources, every day?!?! This is pretty much the new high standard for mapping, Great Job! You indeed are a master of mapping historical wars.
Never realised that so many events were happening concurrently during the entire Taiping Rebellion process, like the creation of the British Raj, Treaty of Aigun. Amazing! Also, Creation of the British Raj: 4:20 *Music Intensifies*
That right there is, in total, over 100 Million deaths, including from war-related causes like war induced famine and diseases. The provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, Anhui and Jiangxi were in particular devastated. Gansu in particular lost 75% (!!!!) of its population during this period, and arguably hasn't yet recovered to this day.
After 天京事變 in 1856, 石達開 went to 安慶 in Anhui. Your map make it look like he went to Szechuan. In 1857 he mostly spent time in Jiangshi and 1858 mostly Hubei. In 1859 did he go to Guanshi which sort of matches your map again. And yes, he met his end in Szechuan in 1863
I would love to see an updated version of the Second Sino-Japanese War with your newer mapping skills, which I'm willing to bet are currently unmatched.
20-30 million people died in this war. Damn. The second sino japanese war also killed between 15-20 million Chinese. The Civil war also killed some 7-9 million. Damn

The Taiping Rebellion was the first modern ideological total war. (Started before the American Civil War.) All of society was put to the task of war. The Taiping armies drafted women as well. Imperial China never recovered. Some Taiping veterans joined Sun Yat-Sen's Revive China Society 30 years later (which eventually became the Kuomintang), and the Chinese Communist Party 60 years later. Many lived to see the fall of the Qing, weirdly without hardly any bloodshed, in 1912. Guess their rebellion had done the job already.
The late 1861 map is interesting. I did not realize that the Taiping got so close to Sian. I thought it was the Nian that were operating into Shanshi from Henan that threatened Sian and not the Taiping. Of course Taiping and Nian were sort of allied at that time
Poor Qing, had beautiful borders, also came very close to die in this scenario, imagine how bad was the situation, a lot of wars at same time. Will you make the Manchu Conquest of the Ming?
Because the Chinese tributary system was weird. It was basically a semi-feudal system that acknowledges China as the "Emperor of the World", and by this time Joseon was really the only country left who actually abided by it both on surface and at home. It's like the relationship between HRE/ERE and the rest of Europe prior to Westphalia. Modern sovereign state concepts did not really become a thing in East Asia until the 1800s. Personally, I think Joseon probably should have been a lighter blue because it was technically not part of the Imperial Realm. To be fair, Joseon at this time had a isolationist policy and when Western Countries tried to establish diplomatic relations, they tried to push it off claiming to be "a part of China" before China told Westerners they were an "independent state". But then, Joseons relationship was weird because it was almost like Tibet and Mongolia was to China, the latter of which China did claim as its territories but chose not to include Joseon for whatever reason.
It's arguable they didn't. The rebellion severely weakened the Imperial government and made it more susceptible to later uprisings, eventually culminating in the Xinhai Revolution.
Amazing work like always! Also, it is interesting and also sad to see that every major religion that has spread into China has created at least one or two massive rebellions. The Christian Taiping rebellion killed 30-80 million people. The Muslim Dungan revolt killed around 20 million in northwest China, and the various Zoroastrian and Buddhist rebellions in early Chinese history have also caused millions of deaths.
That's why it was colored light blue. That said, by this time Joseon was really the only kingdom that abided by the tributary system loyally. Vietnam claimed to be a "Kingdom" when discoursing with China and provided tribute, but at home they switch to the title "Emperor". This is in contrast with Joseon who claimed to be Kings both abroad and at home.
You should also show the map in 1881 after the Treaty of Saint Petersburg when the Russians returned Eastern Ili which it took from Ching China during the Dungan Revolt
The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I, is around 40 million. As for the number of dead it's 20 millions, roughly the same as the Taiping rebellion. The proper military casualties of the Taiping war is very low though. In Europe the 30 years war made 8 million dead, but for the time (less population) it was very important. Similarly to the Taiping rebellion, it's the civilians that increase the death numbers, the military casualties weren't significantly high. During the Napoleonic wars, 6 millions died, this time more than half is from the military, similarly to WW1. On one hand, a lot of common feature between the Taiping rebellion and the 30 years war (civilian suffering), and on the other hand, a lot of common features between WW1 and the Napoleonic wars (huge military death toll).
The West only cared about trade. When the Qing tried to repeal the unfair trade treaties the West imposed on them, the West invaded and forced them to keep the treaties. Shanghai was the largest western settlement in China and a major trade centre. When it seemed like the Taipings might take Shanghai, the West was afraid about what might happen to Shanghai if it was ruled by the Taipings. So they helped the Qing defeat the Taipings.
1910: THE QING MUST BE OVERTHROWN, THEY'RE INEFFECTUAL AND INCOMPETENT. 2020: Poor Qing. Invaded by every country and suffered under so much internal and external strife :(
I don't agree with this map, you are showing Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh as part of Qing but it was under British Raj. Also you are showing some more disputed territories as part of Qing.

I read a book about Hong Xiuquan called 'God's Chinese Son'. Hong was a real piece of work. He had a nervous breakdown after failing the civil servant entry exams three times. He converted to Christianity and believed he was God's second son. One of his right-hand men would channel God's instructions to Hong and his followers in hours-long speaking in tongue sessions. The kingdom's full title was the 'Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace.' Not even kidding.

Amazing job on such a complex (and frankly deadly) conflict in Chinese history. Just to put it in perspective, the casualties in this rebellion are comparable to that of WWI. Also, I know this is somewhat late, but congratulations on 4,000 subscribers!

I love that you casually animates other smaller wars in the surrounding area. So much detail!
The quality of mapping and the importance given to detail is very impressive. You have potential to become the most popular mapper on RUclips and that would be well deserved. Good job
Excellent work! So much better than emperortigerstar's version. You deserve to be famous.

In the case of Joseon, after losing the war with the Qing Dynasty,
they established a brotherly relationship and maintained a tributary relationship thereafter,
but since they maintained the status of an independent country,
it seems a bit of an error to color them in the same color.

@@mariano98ify Mao JOINED the rebellion. Have your seen his video on "The Northern Expedition"? CCP was part of Leftist KMT on that map. Until the leader of leftist Wang Jingwei negotiated with Chiang. After Wang betrayed leftists, many of social democrats and other moderate leftists in KMT was killed in Shanghai by Chiang in a millitary coup like Kristallnacht in Germany. Who survived obeyed Chiang or fled with CCP.
In the Ten marshalls of Mao, some of them used to be leftists in KMT. Including He Long and Peng Dehuai.
@@mariano98ify By the time, Mao was just a local CCP representitive. Leading a minor rebellion in Hunan Province, away from center of the show. But he developed his famous
Guerrilla warfare theory during the time he led his little squad in Hunan mountains, and quickly became an important figure with leading his own CCP provincial government.
But he was neither leader of the party nor sole commander of their army until as late as 1935, although he played important part in the central milltary commitee as a brilliant commander and inspiring commissar. After he successfully planned and guided the long march and secured CCP's position in North-western China, after major defeat back to south before he came in charge, Mao's leading position finally consolidated. That was early 1936.

That right there is, in total, over 100 Million deaths, including from war-related causes like war induced famine and diseases. The provinces of Gansu, Shaanxi, Anhui and Jiangxi were in particular devastated. Gansu in particular lost 75% (!!!!) of its population during this period, and arguably hasn't yet recovered to this day.

After 天京事變 in 1856, 石達開 went to 安慶 in Anhui. Your map make it look like he went to Szechuan. In 1857 he mostly spent time in Jiangshi and 1858 mostly Hubei. In 1859 did he go to Guanshi which sort of matches your map again. And yes, he met his end in Szechuan in 1863

Wow The quality of the videos are astonishing. Like really, better than any other mapper that I’ve seen. I can’t wait to see your videos get popular!

The Taiping Rebellion was the first modern ideological total war. (Started before the American Civil War.) All of society was put to the task of war. The Taiping armies drafted women as well.
Imperial China never recovered.
Some Taiping veterans joined Sun Yat-Sen's Revive China Society 30 years later (which eventually became the Kuomintang), and the Chinese Communist Party 60 years later. Many lived to see the fall of the Qing, weirdly without hardly any bloodshed, in 1912. Guess their rebellion had done the job already.
Great video! You're one of my three favourite videomappers!
Thank God, I thought you were gone. I didn't know that the borders of Mongolia were made by rivers.
That's a magnificent work, I accidentally stumbled on this video and I immediately subscribed.
The late 1861 map is interesting. I did not realize that the Taiping got so close to Sian. I thought it was the Nian that were operating into Shanshi from Henan that threatened Sian and not the Taiping. Of course Taiping and Nian were sort of allied at that time
Excellent work, these videos are an excellent tool for history learning, you deserve much more recognition !
Thank you a thousand times
Poor Qing, had beautiful borders, also came very close to die in this scenario, imagine how bad was the situation, a lot of wars at same time.
Will you make the Manchu Conquest of the Ming?
Beautiful. Best mapper right now!
How is Joseon even Blue? It was a totally separate state that just happened to pay tribute.
Because the Chinese tributary system was weird. It was basically a semi-feudal system that acknowledges China as the "Emperor of the World", and by this time Joseon was really the only country left who actually abided by it both on surface and at home. It's like the relationship between HRE/ERE and the rest of Europe prior to Westphalia. Modern sovereign state concepts did not really become a thing in East Asia until the 1800s.
Personally, I think Joseon probably should have been a lighter blue because it was technically not part of the Imperial Realm. To be fair, Joseon at this time had a isolationist policy and when Western Countries tried to establish diplomatic relations, they tried to push it off claiming to be "a part of China" before China told Westerners they were an "independent state". But then, Joseons relationship was weird because it was almost like Tibet and Mongolia was to China, the latter of which China did claim as its territories but chose not to include Joseon for whatever reason.
New level of interactive maps . The format itself look really nice and attractive.
Suggestion: War on drugs :D
Your subs should be in the millions because this is the best mapping channel I've seen
It's a miracle the Qing dynasty survived all of this revolt.
It's arguable they didn't. The rebellion severely weakened the Imperial government and made it more susceptible to later uprisings, eventually culminating in the Xinhai Revolution.
what a great mapper.You are the best mapper in youtube man!
Amazing work like always!
Also, it is interesting and also sad to see that every major religion that has spread into China has created at least one or two massive rebellions. The Christian Taiping rebellion killed 30-80 million people. The Muslim Dungan revolt killed around 20 million in northwest China, and the various Zoroastrian and Buddhist rebellions in early Chinese history have also caused millions of deaths.
Really good video as usual! I don't know if you already have done a video on the Boxers, but I would really love to see one.
Joseon was never a part of the Qing dynasty, but it was the most loyal tributary state, just like Vietnam and many others
That's why it was colored light blue.
That said, by this time Joseon was really the only kingdom that abided by the tributary system loyally. Vietnam claimed to be a "Kingdom" when discoursing with China and provided tribute, but at home they switch to the title "Emperor". This is in contrast with Joseon who claimed to be Kings both abroad and at home.
@@taoliu3949 Vietnam even claimed to inherit Han empire as China was being ruled by barbarians 😂. I think at one point Korean said the same too.

@@gastonestbon5439 after ww1 spanish gripp was comming as direct result and that killed 60 mio People so ww1 killed technically more than ww2
The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I, is around 40 million. As for the number of dead it's 20 millions, roughly the same as the Taiping rebellion. The proper military casualties of the Taiping war is very low though.
In Europe the 30 years war made 8 million dead, but for the time (less population) it was very important. Similarly to the Taiping rebellion, it's the civilians that increase the death numbers, the military casualties weren't significantly high.
During the Napoleonic wars, 6 millions died, this time more than half is from the military, similarly to WW1.
On one hand, a lot of common feature between the Taiping rebellion and the 30 years war (civilian suffering), and on the other hand, a lot of common features between WW1 and the Napoleonic wars (huge military death toll).
amazing map master！a moving map likes a living history!
I actualy liked your video but i couldn't understand why after a war with Qing, they helped them to fought the rebels.
The West only cared about trade. When the Qing tried to repeal the unfair trade treaties the West imposed on them, the West invaded and forced them to keep the treaties.
Shanghai was the largest western settlement in China and a major trade centre. When it seemed like the Taipings might take Shanghai, the West was afraid about what might happen to Shanghai if it was ruled by the Taipings. So they helped the Qing defeat the Taipings.
Great video. Great quality. Great mapper!

I read a book about Hong Xiuquan called 'God's Chinese Son'. Hong was a real piece of work. He had a nervous breakdown after failing the civil servant entry exams three times. He converted to Christianity and believed he was God's second son. One of his right-hand men would channel God's instructions to Hong and his followers in hours-long speaking in tongue sessions.
The kingdom's full title was the 'Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace.' Not even kidding.
