Chapter 12 Section 1 - China Reunites

Summary
After the Han dynasty ended, China went 300 years without a central government. Chinese warlords battled for control of kingdoms, and people turned to Buddhism for peace and comfort. During this time of trouble, the Koreans broke away from Chinese rule and began their own civilization. The Sui dynasty reunited and rebuilt China after years of war. Construction of the Grand Canal boosted China's economy but caused tension between the people who built it and the emperor, leading to a revolt that ended the Sui dynasty.
