    The fall of the Han Dynasty marked the end of one of China’s longest and most influential imperial reigns, setting the stage for the chaotic period of the Three Kingdoms. While the dynasty had enjoyed centuries of stability and prosperity, internal corruption, weak leadership, and external rebellions steadily eroded its power. By the late second century AD, the once-mighty Han court was little more than a battleground for rival factions, warlords, and opportunists seeking to seize control. 
    One of the first major signs of decline was the increasing corruption within the imperial court. Eunuchs, who had gained substantial influence over the young emperors, manipulated state affairs for personal gain. As these power struggles intensified, competent officials and generals were sidelined or purged, leaving the empire vulnerable to both internal unrest and external threats. The weakening of central authority allowed regional governors and warlords to act with growing independence, further fragmenting the empire. 
    Amidst this political turmoil, a major peasant uprising erupted in 184 AD—the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Led by Zhang Jue, a Taoist healer who promised salvation through divine intervention, the rebellion quickly spread across northern and central China, drawing hundreds of thousands of followers. Although the Han government eventually crushed the revolt, the effort severely drained the empire’s resources and exposed its inability to maintain control. The rebellion’s suppression also elevated the status of military commanders, many of whom would later become the powerful warlords who divided the empire.

    KEANU REEVES 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
      
    CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
      
    Keanu Reeves, born in Beirut, Lebanon, is a Canadian actor and musician known for his diverse roles and amiable public image. He gained early recognition in films like Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and Point Break, then transitioned to more mature roles in movies like My Own Private Idaho. Reeves achieved a resurgence with The Matrix franchise and the John Wick series. He also plays bass guitar in the band Dogstar, and has recently toured in support of their new album. Reeves is also a philanthropist who has a private cancer foundation that supports children's hospitals and cancer research. 
      
    CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
      
    Keanu Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon, on September 2, 1964, to a costume designer mother and an American father with Native Hawaiian, Chinese, English, and Portuguese descent. His first name means "cool breeze over the mountains" in Hawaiian. 
      
    Reeves's parents divorced when he was young, and his mother moved the family to various locations, including Sydney and New York City, before settling in Toronto. He attended four different high schools and was eventually expelled from the Etobicoke School of the Arts for being "too rambunctious". 
      
    Reeves has dyslexia, which he says contributed to him not being a good student. He was a successful ice hockey goalkeeper with aspirations to play for the Canadian Olympic team, but his hockey career ended due to an injury. 
      
    Early in his acting career, agents suggested he change his name because it was "too ethnic". He briefly used "K. C." or "Casey" Reeves before reverting to his given name.
