What happened at the Taiping Rebellion

The Taiping Rebellion erupted in southern China in 1850 when Hong Xiuquan, who believed himself a divine figure sent to establish a 'Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace,' led a movement blending Christian-influenced beliefs with calls for social reform against the ruling Qing dynasty. The rebellion grew into one of the largest civil wars in history, engulfing much of southern and central China. Taiping forces captured Nanjing and made it their capital. The conflict lasted until 1864, when Qing forces, aided by regional armies and some foreign support, crushed the movement.
