The Nian Rebellion (Chinese: 捻亂; pinyin: Niǎn Luàn)[7] was an armed uprising that took place in northern China from 1851 to 1868, contemporaneously with the Taiping Rebellion (1850–1864) in Southern China . Ultimately the rebellion failed to topple the Qing dynasty, but caused immense economic devastation and loss of life that became major long-term factors in the collapse of the Qing regime in the early 20th century.
