Why did the Sui Dynasty fall, and when?

The Sui Dynasty fell apart only 37 years after it began. The year it collapsed was 618. It fell apart due to the people growing tired of paying high taxes that paid for the canal, so they revolted. On March 5, 581 the Sui Dynasty began. It lasted not long, but long enough to make history. Wendi was building the Grand Canal, and to build the canal, they needed money. Wendi raised the taxes of the people living in the Sui Dynasty, and they did not like this. They were paying a lot of money for something they felt that they didn't need. The Sui Dynasty was ruled for 13 years by Yang Di after his father, Wendi passed away. The Sui Dynasty collapsed due to a revoltion of a military coup.
