By the mid-9th century, the Tang was much weakened and divided, and plagued by bandits and other groups competing for power. Perhaps the most significant rebellion of this period was the [[Huang Chao Rebellion]], led initially by Wang Xianzhi and later by Huang Chao, who captured [[Guangzhou]] in [[879]], and Chang'an the following year; his seizure of Chang'an is said to have been particularly bloody. With the help of the Shatuo Turks, the dynasty survived and limped along, until its final collapse in [[907]].<ref>Schirokauer, 124.</ref>
