[libertad]

My goodness...I never knew wars in China were so brutal. Sucks that we never learn about these events...history channel is nothing but reality shows nowadays . Did the Hue rebellion happen during the Confucius movement??

Wikipedia has Taiping death toll at 20 million.

If i am not mistaken the qing forces castrated yaqub beg's grandsons. Also is it true that the muslim population in shaanxi and gansu were decimated?

 

[DragonEmpire]

Exaggerations. Ancient era did not have reliable census numbers. Please stop posting garbage.

@WebMaster @Chak Bamu @Horus

Those figures are utter nonsense... and totally out of proportion, the world population in 1860 was way below 1.5 billion! . And of course not a single source.

Just imagine if China will exert all its effort to enemy countries, China will definitely rule this world.
