Fall of the Han Dynasty
The Han Dynasty faced internal conflicts due to palace intrigue. In 189 A.D., a conflict erupted in the palace between the Empress Dowager’s family and the emperor’s eunuch allies. Adding to the turmoil were the Yellow Turbans, a religious cult aiming to start a civil war and establish their own dynasty. As tensions escalated, the military intervened, leading to a prolonged conflict until 220 A.D., when the last Han emperor was deposed, marking the end of the dynasty. The Six Dynasties Period (220 AD-589) followed, witnessing the rise of Daoism and Buddhism, which brought significant changes to China.
