War of the Eight Princes
The War of the Eight Princes or Rebellion of the Eight Kings or Rebellion of the Eight Princes () was a civil war for power among princes or kings (wang ch. 王) of the Chinese Jin Dynasty from AD 291 to AD 306. It was fought mostly in northern China and devastated the country, later triggering the Wu Hu ravaging. The term stems from biographies of eight princes collected in chapter 59 of the "History of Jin Dynasty" (Jinshu).
