414 - The Taiping Rebellion: The Craziest, Bloodiest Civil War Ever

414 - The Taiping Rebellion: The Craziest, Bloodiest Civil War Ever

Did you know that in that in 1850, Hong Xiuquan, a man who interpreted literal fever demons as religious visions from God informing him that he was Jesus's little brother and that he needed to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and take over all of China, almost did just that? He raised an army that fought imperial China for over decade and waged a war that left between 20 and 70 million people dead. Perhaps the craziest historical event I've ever heard of that I didn't know anything about before starting this podcast.

Hope you enjoy the sound of the new recording equipment!
