who did the event affect the most?
Many people died in this war. In just one day the Chinese had deployed 10,000 troops. By the end of that day 2,500 of them were dead. The French only sent out 1,000 troops. Their army was more tactical and well trained than the Chinese and Black Flag army though. They only lost 90 men because of this. Overall in this war the total casualties to the French was 2,100 compared to a whopping 10,000 Chinese. More than just the families of these men were affected by the battle. Everywhere that found themselves in French rule were affected by new food, customs, rules, religion and pretty much a whole new way of life. The Qing dynasties Mandate of heaven was also affected by the Chinese loss to the war. The Qing rulers were defaced.
