The Taiping Rebellion & Second Opium War: Every Day [MAJOR ERRORS]

  • A detailed map animation of the various rebellions that occurred in China during the 1850s, 1860s, and 1870s (notably the Taiping Rebellion, the main focus of the video), as well as the Second Opium War, the Anglo-Burmese War, and the Nepalese-Tibetan War.
    Dates are year.month.day. Months are represented by numbers. The video transitions to one month per slide after mid-1864 due to the drawn-out nature of the conflict.
    Note that there is an error: from June 1862 to late 1863 the Hui rebels besieged Xi'an (Koopinator is going to destroy me for this).

      @@elisays258 Agreed. Like, imo, all three should be revered as some of the greatest mappers out there, Tigerstar being that he was the founder of mapping even if his maps are pretty shit, Ollie Bye, as he was the greatest mapper in the game before the arrival of Khey Pard and Jake Mapping to the scene, and is still largely on par with them, and Suomi, due to being the founder of mapping in its current form, a much better version of the mapping initially done by Tigerstar. At the same time, Yan Xishan is the greatest mapper on TH-cam at the moment. The production value of his videos is unparalleled by any other mapper.
      Also, Nick HD Mapping, another one of my all time favorite mappers, has returned to the cause.

      Yes, poor Qing dynasty just have too many problems to face. Qing was established by the Manchu guys, who is minority compared with Han Chinese (although in absolute number there are a lot of them), so they fear they would lose their power back to the Han. As a result, the Qing government was extremely conservetive to push reforms, and finnally collapsed in the modern revolutionary forces.

The rest (the westerner/central part, Manchuria in the north...) is secondary.

      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.

    • @taoliu3949
      @taoliu3949 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    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.
