These resources were overstrained in the completion of the GrandCanal --a monumental engineering feat--and in the undertaking of otherconstruction projects, including the reconstruction of the Great Wall.Weakened by costly and disastrous military campaigns against Korea in theearly seventh century, the dynasty disintegrated through a combinationof popular revolts, disloyalty, and assassination. Sui Dynasty rulers were partly Normads, aswas Tang Dynasty.
