The taiping rebelion weaken china from within while european imperialists continued to pressure for more rights and concessions. when did the taiping rebelion occur?

The Taiping rebellion started on December of 1850  and ended on August 1864

The Taiping rebellion split the people of China into 2 factions, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty (with France and Britain backing up the Qing's). It ended with the Qing victory, but it helped spark persecution and other rebellions against the Qing's and the Europeans.

hope this helps
