| 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. |
