| After three
centuries of conflict, China was reunified in A.D. 589 by
the short-lived Sui dynasty (A.D. 581-617), which has
often been compared to the earlier Qin dynasty in tenure
and the ruthlessness of its accomplishments. The Sui
dynasty's early demise was attributed to the government's
tyrannical demands on the people, who bore the crushing
burden of taxes and compulsory labor. These resources were
overstrained in the completion of the Grand Canal--a
monumental engineering feat-- and in the undertaking of
other construction projects, including the reconstruction
of the Great Wall. Weakened by costly and disastrous
military campaigns against Korea in the early seventh
century, the dynasty disintegrated through a combination
of popular revolts, disloyalty, and assassination. |
