	Nien Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The rebellion failed to topple the Qing regime, but caused immense economic devastation and loss of life that became one of the major long-term factors in the collapse of the Qing regime.
		By the summer of 1855, the fast-moving Nian cavalry, well-trained and fully equipped with modern firearms, had cut the lines of communication between Peking and the Qing armies fighting the T'ai-p'ing rebels in the south.
		Although the Nian rebellion was smaller than that of the T'ai-p'ings, it severely drained government finances, devastated the richest areas of China, and left China's economy in a very precarious state.
