=== Death toll ===
With no reliable census at the time, estimates of the death toll of the Taiping Rebellion are speculative. The most widely cited sources estimate the total number of deaths during the almost 14 years of the rebellion to be approximately 20 to 30&nbsp;million civilians and soldiers.<ref>{{Britannica|580815|Taiping Rebellion}}</ref> Most of the deaths were attributed to plague and famine. Some analysts have claimed that the death toll may have reached 100 million.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Lee |first=Gregory |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mx6DDwAAQBAJ&dq=taiping+rebellion+%22100+million%22&pg=PT208 |title=China Imagined: From European Fantasy to Spectacular Power |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2018 |isbn=978-1-787-38168-1}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Wasserstrom |first=Jeffrey N. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BRs9DAAAQBAJ&dq=taiping+rebellion+%22100+million%22&pg=PA64 |title=The Oxford Illustrated History of Modern China |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=2016 |isbn=978-0-199-68375-8}}</ref>
