Chinese Revolutions: A History Podcast

• S02E01 Reintroducing the Chinese Revolutions Podcast

  S02E01 Reintroducing the Chinese Revolutions Podcast This is a rambling episode pushed out to get the ball rolling, getting this podcast going again. The next big thing on the agenda is the Boxer Rebellion. We'll do some episodes in the run up to the Boxer Rebellion, and then we'll spend some good time on the next major revolutionary inflection point before the Qing Dynasty is taken out with the garbage. The Boxer Rebellion is going to illustrate the problems of the people and the political classes of China, both with sclerotic domestic conditions and intrusive, oppressive foreign intervention, imposition, and influence on China.

• S01E42 Taiping Rebellion: Epilogue

  S01E42 Taiping Rebellion: Epilogue In this episode, we finish up our coverage of the Taiping Rebellion, as such. In following episodes, we'll do a little more with how the roots in the succeeding era come on from interactions between the Qing Dynasty government and foreign powers. We follow the final chapter of Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping Civil War by Stephen R. Platt. While the Taiping inspired later generations of revolutionaries, they ultimately failed to carry through a successful revolution. This episode looks at why, and what future revolutionary movements will have to do to succeed. If You'd Like to Support the Podcast Subscribe, share, leave a rating.

• S01E41: Taiping Rebellion: The Siege of Nanjing

  S01E41: Taiping Rebellion: The Siege of Nanjing In this episode, we deal with the Siege of Nanjing. As the extremely brutal culmination of years of already brutal fighting, the Qing loyalist forces of Zeng Guofan finally storm the Taiping capital and put a permanent end to the top leadership of the rebellion. Again, drawing on Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom by Stephen R. Platt. The central questions pivotal to future revolutions we'll deal with: What is the Chinese nation, who are the Chinese people? What does a modern Chinese state, competitive in the modern world, look like? Next episode we'll deal with the epilogue from Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom.

• S01E40 Fast Forwarding to the End of the Taiping Rebellion

  S01E40 Fast Forwarding to the End of the Taiping Rebellion In this episode, I take a rambling skim through several chapters of Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom. There is a lot of content I want to get to, other than the blow by blow of the Taiping Rebellion. I'm fast forwarding to the end of this one so we can get through it and get on to other revolutions. We'll still be doing things with this book, because it has a lot of material related to the period after the Taiping Rebellion, but the emphasis will be on what comes after, rather than the Taiping Rebellion.

  S01E39 Taiping Rebellion: Siege of Anqing, On the Edge of a Knife Some points of review on where we left the Taiping Rebellion story. We're getting back into the Taiping Rebellion.
