How it ended, as its article says
Conquered, 394. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
It was destroyed in 394 as Later Yan's emperor Murong Chui wanted to reunite the people formerly of Yan and conquered it.

6 rulers, 6 with terms dated as terms, covering 384 – 394. Only 10 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 0 of 5 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. The violent-handover count is withheld: power changed hands so often that any rising falls beside one (exposure 0.64, limit 0.6). A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

What happened within it, by century
Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.

What led to it, and what came of it
