From 1852 to 1865, one of the most massively brutal wars in history was fought in and for China: The Taiping Rebellion, which resulted in over 20 million casualties. It had major religious connections as its leader, Hong Xiu-Quan, believed he was the brother of Jesus Christ. He thus founded The Dynasty.
Eventually many Europeans were drawn into the war, including the famous Charles "Chinese" Gordon.
