If you're a student of history, you likely know that the Second World War was the deadliest event in human history. At the very least, 60 million lost their lives, and the number is likely tens of millions more than that. But what is the second deadliest conflict? You might think it's the Mongol conquests or even World War I. Nope, the second deadliest conflict was a civil war, and it occurred within China in the 19th century. The Taiping Rebellion saw between 20 and 70 million humans killed, the result of religious revolutionaries, apocalyptic visions, and the battle for control of China's strategic centers. Simply put, this is the deadliest civil war you've never heard of.
