Today’s focus on China gave me a clearer understanding of the Rebellion period. The concept of Internal Disorder / External Disorder helped to clarify events and cause/effect of certain events. Opium War and Opium War II and then Manchu Rule and Taiping Rebellion and of course the economy.

I always have known that there was a Taiping Rebellion, and I new it had something to do with the Chinese being unhappy with the foreigners, but I did not have a clear grasp of this event until today!

Hong Xiuquan failed at what he tried to do raise to the top thru the exam process…yet it is with his nervous breakdown that he is responsible for a civil war…aah is it
Contingency/serendipity?
