Answer 1

Taiping Rebellion

Step-by-step explanation:

Between 1850 and 1864 the Taiping Rebellion impacted a large part of China, cost around twenty million lives and had the possibility to replace the Qing dynasty. The Taiping army of Hong Xiuquan stormed through China toward Nanjing, which fell in 1853 and became the capital of Taiping. The revolution faded by 1864 following the massacre of millions of people. The long-lasting impact of the Taiping revolution lay in its religious conviction and potential to overthrow the Qing dynasty.
