Disaster of Yongjia

Disaster of Yongjia

The Disaster of Yongjia (Chinese: 永嘉之祸) referred to events that occurred in 311 CE, when Wu Hu forces captured Luoyang, the Jin capital. After this victory, Wu Hu forces committed a massacre when entering the city, killing the Jin crown prince, a host of ministers, and over 30,000 civilians. This was seen as the event that led to the fall of the Han-majority ruled and unified Jin Dynasty, and its re-establishment as the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
