November 1850 CE

The first clashes of the Taiping Rebellion occur in November 1850, between the Imperial militia and the Heavenly Army.

The Chinese emperor's army is soundly defeated by the God Worshipers society, which quickly transforms into a rebellion against the Manchus.

South China's malcontents flock to join the movement, which initially is poorly supplied.
