The Punti–Hakka Clan Wars were an ethnic conflict between the Hakka (Chinese: 家客; pinyin: jiākè – guest) and the Cantonese (Chinese: 本地; pinyin: běn dì JP bun2dei6 – local), both Han Chinese subgroups, fought largely in the Guangdong region of China which was then under the Qing Empire. Occurring between 1855 and 1868, the fighting was most intense in the Pearl River Delta, especially in Toi Shan of the Sze Yup counties. The wars resulted in up to one million deaths and the displacement of many more civilians.
