Jindandao Incident in Inner Mongolia

Background. The Jindandao Incident involved a Han Chinese secret society called Jindandao that rose in revolt in Inner Mongolia in November 1891. The rebellion resulted in the genocidal massacre of 150,000 to 500,000 Mongols. The violence was eventually suppressed by government troops in late December. Chinese officials later dubbed the massacre an incident.

Outbreak. The outbreak of the rebellion occurred in November 1891 when the Jindandao rebels attacked the government office of the Aukhan Banner. This event marked the beginning of the violence in Inner Mongolia. The specific date of November 11 is not confirmed by the supplied passages, which only state the month.

Suppression. The rebellion was suppressed by government troops in late December 1891. The Jindandao society had previously massacred hundreds of thousands of Mongols. The suppression ended the active phase of the rebellion, though the exact details of the military operations are not detailed in the supplied passages.
