• The internal government conflict (between the Taiping rebels and the Qing Dynasty) did not end with the Taiping Rebellion; it was suppressed but other internal issues persisted.
• The Qing Dynasty was weakened, not strengthened, by the Taiping Rebellion as it drained resources and caused social unrest.

The number of lives lost was over twenty million.
