The White Lotus Rebellion was a significant uprising in China that occurred between 1796 and 1804. It was primarily led by the White Lotus Society, a religious and political movement that sought to challenge the ruling Qing Dynasty. The rebellion was fueled by widespread discontent due to heavy taxation, corruption, and natural disasters, which exacerbated the suffering of the peasantry. The conflict began in the central provinces of China and quickly spread to other regions. The Qing government struggled to suppress the rebellion, which involved thousands of peasants and lasted for several years. Ultimately, the rebellion was quelled, but it highlighted the growing unrest among the population and foreshadowed future challenges to Qing rule.
