This guy existed and the things he did happened.
Why should anyone care about Chinese civil wars when even dynasty change makes seemingly no apparent difference.
The oy one that seems to affect the world stage was when the gommies won.

>Hakka Chinese
It's always these guys
>>3080916
Its not "this guy". Its Jesus's younger brother. God's second son.
Get it right atheists.
What other historical figures could this phrase apply to?

Stupidest post on /his/ today. I've been reflecting on it for 3 minutes and I'm still discovering new reasons to call you retarded.
>>3081117
Alexander, Napoleon and a few other madmen.
>>3080928
Just because China doesn't stop being China doesn't mean that there's no difference.
Since you're probably a yank, do you think the american civil war made "seemingly no apparent difference"?

If you remove the Conquest of Americas and remove the Asian side of the casulties in all the WW, it would all be in Asia.
>>3082742
True.
>>3080916
I shat bricks the first time i read about the Taiping Rebellion, before that i thought it was just about some random chink general getting uppity.
>>3081117

Wow China was really fucking unstable in the 1850s to 1870s
Are all these rebellions somewhat related to "lol I'm jesus's brother" guy and the instability he brought or what?

Hong Xiuquan. The leader of the Taiping Rebellion.
>>3080928
Gommie taking over was a dynasty change.
>>3083446
There wasn't really a flashpoint. The economy was changing due to new technology, populations were growing and far flung regions started to gain power and undermine central authority. Each rebellion put strain on the Qing allowing others to rise up, first among these being the Afaqi Khoja revolts which began 13 years before the opium war.

>>3080947
Aren't they literally referred to as "the Jews of China" or something?
