In the Korean peninsula the "Donghak" movement and its leader, Choe Je-u, were inspired by Korean Catholic missionaries. However, they condemned the 'Western learning' preached by missionaries and contrasted it with the indigenous 'Eastern learning'. They started a rebellion in 1894 in Jeolla province in southwestern Korea. The rebellion was eventually crushed by Chinese and Japanese troops, resulting in 300,000 fatalities. It is comparable to the millenarian Taiping revolution led by Hong Xiuquan, who was also inspired by Catholic missionaries. The "Donghak" movement served as a template for the later "Daejonggyo" and "Jeungsan-gyo" movements, as well as for other religious nationalist movements. The Buddhist-influenced "Daejonggyo" movement financed guerillas in Manchuria during Japanese colonial rule of both Korea and Manchuria. The North Korean state ideology, "Juche", is sometimes classified as a religion in the United States Department of State's human rights reports.
