Through rebellion and military force. The Han Dynasty overthrew the Qin Dynasty through rebellion and military force in 202 BCE, while the Tang Dynasty rose to power in 618 CE after a series of military campaigns and rebellions against the previous Sui Dynasty. Both dynasties initially came to power through the use of force and overthrowing the ruling dynasty at the time.
