It was a civil war for the control of the Tang dynasty and a turning point for the decline of the Tang from prosperity to decline. The war resulted in a large loss of population and a sharp decline in national strength. It is named after An Lushan and Shi Siming as they were the main leaders of the rebellion against the Tang dynasty.
