Answer
The Taiping Rebellion was a massive civil war in China that lasted from 1850 to 1864. It was led by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a Christian millenarian movement that sought to overthrow the Qing dynasty and establish a new theocratic state. The Qing forces, led by General Zeng Guofan, eventually defeated the Taiping rebels, and Li Hongzhang played a significant role in suppressing the rebellion in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces.
