Its unification had vanished and there were endless rivalries among seven competing kingdoms. Qin Shihuangdi(ruled 221-210 BCE) was one of the rulers from the various states that had successfully reunified China. He used his already developed effective bureaucracy and launched military campaigns to defeat the other warring states. He adopted a political philosophy called Legalism that had pessimistic views on human nature and subordinated the aristocrats who disliked his centralized policies, whereas the Han dynasty later had more of a Confucian Theme in their governing philosophy. He was strict and once put 460 scholars to death as a warning for those who oppose him. He led some contributions to innovation by standardizing weights, measurement and currency, equipping his armies with iron weapons and had agricultural systems that enforce growth in populations.

    The great rebellions that happened during the 19th century in the Qing dynasty, proved to be costly. Notably the biggest and most dangerous of the rebellions was the Taiping Rebellion. The Taiping Rebellion was so widespread, that the Qing considered it to be more pressing than the second opium war against the Europeans. The Taiping Rebellion had taken over 20 million Chinese lives over the course of the rebellion. Why did the Taiping Rebellion and other Rebellions during the middle of the 19th century happened?

Lastly, these rebellions saw much reform in the Qing's military structure, such as, Chinese officials being able to raise armies without a Manchu present. This essay looks at…
