Great song, by the way.

[utuberocks34342135]

The claim, that An Lushan was Persian, is nonsensical.

He was a Turk born in Sogdiana. FYI, Turks were a

dominant people in Central Asia before and during

An Lushans time.

[utuberocks34342135]

Medieval and modern China seems to have nothing but

series of wars, massacres and tyrannical governments.

I feel sorry for its people. I hope they start living peacefully

once again. I hope China becomes a great place to live in

once again.

what relationship between An lushan and  Taiping Tianguo ???

[kiskedis]

Yeah,but none of the Tang Emperor's are pure Han Chinese.

Most of them are mix blood between Xianbei and Han.

I fully agree. The An Lushan Rebellion killed +30 million people. Pre-modern subsistence farmers often lived at the very edge of starvation, so the slightest disruption could cause a massive die-off, particularly when they depended on large irrigation systems.

And as for the Taiping Rebellion, I still think that the author of this video shouldn't claim that it killed more than WW1, especially when considering that two sources get it at a much lower estimate

I think some facts may be fun for you

Population of China during Qin dynasty (221 B.C): 20 million

Population of China during Han dynasty: 50 million

Population of China during Tang dynasty 618 A.D : 80 million

Population of China during Sung dynasty 960 A.D : 100 million

Present population of China 2008 A.D : 1350 million

To Eiketsu3000, what I mean ancient was the An Lushan rebellion in the Tang dynasty

The number of deaths in a war can be attributed to many factors

One key factor is technology

Thus using WW1 to compare with Taiping Rebellion is not accurate as well

[ifart16]

You cannot compare ONLY number of deaths in a war

You must compare

1. Number of deaths

2. The population of the warring factions

for example, Country A killed 2 million soldiers of Country B

But what if Country B has 200 million men that is 1 percent of the population

What if Country B has 20 million men that is 10 percent of a population?
