Actually the latin just a bunch of letter that translate what Vietnamese people speak. In 14 century Vietnamese people created our own language, it's look like chinese but Chinese people can't read that, we call it's Nom. Nowadays no one in our country use Nom because we use the latin so long and can't get back to Nom. Just some University about our Vietnamese language is teaching it for student and some people have interesting on Nom are learning it them self or with help from old people or University teacher.

      @Hoàng Nguyên the fact that they did. China, France, Japan(few months during the WWII), and US(technically for 2 decades) have successfully invaded us. However, to conquer and to invaded I do believe they are different. To conquer is to blend the culture, destroy national identity, bla bla. Thus, I mean there have not been yet any nations on Earth had successfully did it to us. The reason that skinny nation is still on the world map is because of national identity. The idea of Việt people, neither communist nor republic Vietnam.

They still preserve their original identity, and eventually grow to become a decent country. That is quite impressive if you think about it.

    Pre-historic Vietnam was home to some of the world's earliest civilizations, making the Vietnamese, one of the world's first peoples who had practiced agriculture. With an intriguing history of achieving what others deem impossible, Vietnam is a country like no other. The New York Times wrote, "Vietnam has a history of resisting the world’s great powers. It threw out the French after almost a century of colonization and then handed the United States a humiliating defeat. That same spirit has emerged in its war of wills, this time over China’s attempts to project its growing power closer to Vietnam’s shores." The deadly anti-China riots in Vietnam in 2014 as the result of China's illegal placement of its oil rig in Vietnam's waters, drove more than 40,000 Chinese nationals back to their mainland China. The history of Vietnam’s formidable people and defenses dated well before the Vietnam War and even before the Mongol invasion of Vietnam in 13th century. In fact, it dated back to the war against the Chinese invasion of Vietnam in 300 BC. However, the famous battles of the Vietnamese army against the mighty Mongol Empire have become the most celebrated episode in the history of Vietnam. Scholars regard the Mongol conquest as one of the deadliest invasions in human history. The unbeatable Mongol army had conquered half of the known world, but eventually given itself up to a small country named Dai Viet (currently Vietnam)! In less than 80 years, the Mongol Empire encompassed entire land from the Pacific Ocean to the Danube River. After having successfully conquered Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, Central Asia, Great Russia, all of China in the 13th century, the powerful Mongol Empire immediately started their southward expansion in Southeast Asia where it finally met its match. Even China was agonizingly defeated and completely conquered by the mighty Mongol army, which by contrast was bitterly defeated 3 times by the resilient Vietnamese. The decisive victory of the Vietnamese army over the invading mighty Mongol army in the bloody battle at the Bach Dang River in 1288 eventually brought an end to the Mongols' invasion of Dai Viet (currently Vietnam) as well as their dream of conquering the entire world. If the Mongol Empire had learned that the Chinese Empires before them had been bitterly kicked out of Vietnam after their 10 centuries of occupation while completely failing to assimilate the Vietnamese, the mighty Mongol Empire would have never even thought of invading Vietnam.

      Well to be honest, if one Great Military Army invades Vietnam in this modern time, we will not stand a chance. The Mongolians failed in the past because they were not similar with the geography, tropical diseases spread among soldiers, and according to Vietnamese history, the general of Dai Viet army back then was great with tatic. None of those things would help in modern day since modern wars are fought by nuclear bombs, battleships and biological weapons.

      @sinnerandprejudice Vietnamese did use guns. Actually, a lot of guns, since they did have a period of civil war before where many belligerents employed guns, even western guns (due to trade) in mass.
      The problem was that by the time of European colonization, like many other kingdoms and empires in the region, Dai Nam (the name of the kingdom of Vietnamese) fell prey to isolation, extreme conservatism and corruption. Military was regressed, while the restriction of trade and prosecution of Christians, blocked them from the access to more advanced weaponry. While France was equipped with breech-loading guns and rifles, Vietnamese had mostly smoothbore, muzzle-loading guns and firearms. France also had steam ships (not sure if they employed these ships in the invasion of Vietnam, though). Better ships allowed them to bring bigger cannons to siege Vietnamese castles, which were often situated near rivers and shores.

He ordered his army to attack the food supply and then purposely left the capital empty. That was all about tactics. Tran Hung Dao is one of the three greatest generals in Vietnam. The other two are Quang Trung (18th century) and Vo Nguyen Giap (The French know him, the US know him too).

      @私の日本をアイシテル I didn't said that Vietnam was unbeatable. The problem is Mongol's strategy and army's strength is unbeatable at the beginning of the war. But Vietnamese knew their weakpoint, which is they didn't carry a lot of foods. So we destroyed our rice farm, we killed cows and chicken,... Which is not good for the mongols's because their strategy is use the foods they stole. So after a while, they start to starving and we attacked back. So basiclly Vietnamese's strategy is to retreat while Mongol's army is still strong and attack when they're weak. We paid the tribute to them because we didn't want war. Will you want another "Little Boy" drop into Hiroshima? We just want peace. And don't be too serious. It's just a joke.

    It's quite impressive if you know that Vietnam had fought so many enemies in its history, from China (main villain), from Siam/Thailand, from Cambodia, from Laos, and even against Mongols that composed many Turks/Persians/Koreans, Manchu Qing, Japan, France and USA - and is now even inspired the Ukrainians (during the Russian invasion several Ukrainian bunkers named itself "Vietnam" as a confusion for Russian troops), Yemenis, Algerians, Poles, Egyptians, Czechs, Croats, Taiwanese, Uyghurs, Tibetans, to believe about a future win for their rights to exist, etc. What on earth power gives this nation such a strong determination to stay united amidst so many aggressors approaching is beyond me.

      Wow! you know a lot about Vietnamese history. Thanks for your comment with some interesting aspects. Your question about the source of strength of the Vietnamese people determination of staying united in fighting off oppressors is a very good question but hard to answer. It can be our traditional culture. It can be our love of peace and knowing the value of freedom and independence after thousands of years of struggling experience. The strength might be from the love of the blue sky, the calming river, the peaceful rice fields and strong bond between villagers or neighbours.. The spirit has been seeded in our blood/DNA. So that whenever the nation in danger, the Vietnamese people from most paths of life would become one. I believe that if a foreigner who lives long enough in Vietnam would act the same way :-)

      2. The Vietnamese are very good at long-term resistance, the more they fight, the stronger they become. When the enemy kills a loved one, a friend, a comrade... Then the hatred for the enemy multiplies in the souls of those who are still alive. => creates incomparable power
      => It was itself that defeated 500,000 Mongols. It's a scary thing....

    - Hóa Châu and Thuận Châu were established in 1307, so they haven't existed then
    - Toghon marched into Dai Viet from the northeast, not from the north. He defeated Vietnamese forces at Vạn Kiếp and then captured the capital, before Sogetu reached northern Vietnam.
    - Sogetu was killed in a battle in Red River Delta, not at the border
    - In the third invasion, Omar's fleet sailed upstream all the way to Thăng Long, returned to the coast to pick up the supply fleet, but failed to meet it. Omar then went back to Toghon before he ordered a general retreat

      Daiviet and Champa is two kingdoms, two ethnics. Both of them were Chinese's colonies. Both of them get independence from Chinese ( the first is Champa, after that is Viet). They soon became the rival, at war with each other everytime ( exclude this Mongol's invasions). Finally, Viet conquered Champa during 15th century, and total annexed them during 19th century.
      Because Vietnam territory, have many civil wars between " North Kingdom - South Kingdom" after that ( Mac - Le; Trinh - Nguyen; Tay Son - Nguyen;...). However, almost of them actually " North Viet Kingdom - South Viet Kingdom" instead two different ethnic like Viet-Champa.

    Nice video, but you miss some important detail. When Mongol people capture Thang Long (Ha Noi), they got nothing but an empty city with deadly trap and deadly disease, no food, no people left for them to exploit. That represented how well the people are willing to cooperate, with their government. They are willing to abandon their life, their home and every one of them become a soldier even for women, kid, and elder just to defeat the invader. That is why the Mongol always easily capture Thang Long (Ha Noi) as well as why they always fail after doing that. This strategy is a strategy that requires fully cooperate of the people and iron will to defeat the enemy or die. It's called "Vườn Không Nhà Trống" - "No Man City". It's a different version from the version in China that Zhuge Liang use to scare Sima Yi. Vietnamese's "No Man City", is a deadly trap. I think there are not many countries are tough enough to make their capital into the bait. If yes, please comment, I want to know more :).

      - Vietnamese have advantage about naval. North Vietnam full of rivers, so Mongol's cavalry can't as fast as Vietnamese.

    Huge appreciation to the ones who made this historical video and all the international friends that showed big love to us Vietnamese! Well I would unhesitatingly state that there is no other countries which is undaunted, consistent, brave and persevering like Vietnam. These virtues are what kept us survive through 1000 years of Chinese colonisation (officially, because they came back many times after that but we never gave up on maintaining our land), Japanese, American, French colonisation, and also are the reasons why we triumphed over Genghis Khan's great army three times! As a Vietnamese, I myself sometimes feel unbelievable as I always wonder how incredible Vietnamese people are, to keep on standing up when enemies shoved them down; to keep on fighting no matter how many years had passed, how many blood we had spilled, how many pain and loss we had to endured; to insist on believing that we would win no matter how powerful the enemies are, because we fight for our justice, for our sovereignty and territory, for our belief and for our people's life. And we did, we won all the fights against strongest, undefeatable, most powerful armies! We made the impossible possible. Oh dear, can't tell how proud I am to be a Vietnamese.

    Actually, this is already the third battle of Bach Dang in history. In the first one in 938, Ngo Quyen repelled an invading Southern Han force, which ended an almost 1000-year-long Chinese occupation in Vietnam, and created the independent kingdom of Dai Viet. Even more interesting is the fact, that Ngo Quyen used the very same trick on the river against the larger Chinese warships, as Tran Hung Dao would use again some 300 years later against the Mongols.

    Kublai Khan established the Yuan dynasty in 1271 in China. The Yuan dynasty is also known as "the Mongol dynasty" or "Mongol Dynasty of China" by westerners. The Yuan dynasty consisted of Dali Kingdom, Song Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Xixia Dynasty, and the Mongol Empire led by Kublai Khan. According to historians, known as the earth shakers and the most violent barbarians in human history, the Mongols had been fully responsible for displacing the world populations and changing the face of human history through their widespread bloody massacres. Scholars regard the Mongol conquest as one of the deadliest invasions in human history. In fact, it took Iran almost a century to recover its original peak population prior to the Mongols' invasion. The mighty Mongol army has been considered the most unquestionably feared in the world. Every inch on earth the Mongols passed, was greased with human fat and soaked with human blood. Even the deadliest winters in Russia could not deter the Mongols from invading Moscow and Kiev. After their successful conquest of the Great Russia, the Mongols again repeated the great success in the Battle of Legnica in Poland known as the Battle of Liegnitz. The powerful Mongol army totally crushed the combined defending forces of European fighters, twice its size. The Mongols had great success in the battle by feigning their retreat to separate European knights from the main body of allied forces and defeat them one by one. The Mongols employed one further trick-a smokescreen being used across the battlefield to hide the Mongol movements, confuse the Europeans, and virtually annihilate them. The decisive victories in Poland and Hungary have become some of the most celebrated episodes in the Mongols world conquest, which showed the effectiveness of the Mongol war machine. Suffering the same fate as the European countries, countries in West Asia including Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey one by one submitted to the mighty Mongol army. Sadly, China was not an exception. The Chinese Empire said to the mighty Mongol Empire, "Our Empire is as vast as the sea, yours is but a handful of sand." The Chinese had paid a deadly price for their arrogance they would never forget. The mighty Mongol army creatively went around the Great Wall of China, easily got inside and savagely massacred all the Chinese people, leaving a mountain of human skulls/bones outside the Great Wall that could be visible from miles away for years. According to historians, “Body [of the Chinese prisoners] stacked ‘like rotten logs’ littered the ground for more than 30 miles.” The mighty Mongol army led by Subedei (also known as Subutai-one of the greatest military commanders and strategists in history), continued to brutally burn, pillage, rape, and murder all the populations of 90 Chinese cities for over 6 months. As a result, unable to protect the Chinese people from the Mongols' attack, China's Great Wall has sadly become a historic symbol of China's eternal shame and failure. The Chinese dynasties had to defend against countless Mongol attacks. Genghis Khan persistently fiercely attacked China for several years. Finally, the mighty Mongol army conquered all of China in 1279 after Western Xia Dynasty, Dali Kingdom, Jin Dynasty and Song Dynasty all one by one shamefully surrendered to the Mongols. In less than 80 years, the Mongol Empire encompassed entire land from the Pacific Ocean to the Danube River. After having successfully conquered Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East, Central Asia, Great Russia, all of China in the 13th century, the powerful Mongol Empire immediately started their southward expansion where a small country known as Dai Viet (currently Vietnam) at the time was their first target. However, totally failing to achieve the great successes as seen earlier in the century, the unbeatable Mongol army met its match. In spite of having been fully equipped with hundreds of well-armed warships and over 100,000 well-trained troops, the mighty Mongol army led by the most brilliant and successful military commanders of all time with the greatest military strategy of Sun Tzu, was totally bitterly defeated, not once but three times (1258, 1285, and 1288) by the Vietnamese; and the decisive victory of the Vietnamese army led by Vietnamese Prince Tran Quoc Tuan against the invading powerful Mongol army in the bloody battle at the Bach Dang River in 1288 eventually brought an end to the earth shakers’ (the Mongols) invasion of Dai Viet as well as their dream of conquering the entire world. If the Mongol Empire had learned that the Chinese Empires before them had been bitterly kicked out of Vietnam after their 1,000-year occupation while completely failing to assimilate the Vietnamese, the mighty Mongol Empire would have never even thought of invading Vietnam.

      @championszz Are you only count invaders as a government assembling or local uprising? Also, Dai Viet didn't destroy by Champa like you think it is since there is a record that said about fighting among the local that cause the need to invade. Same thing apply to Song cause if it isn't, Dai Li has attacked Dai Viet multiple times before the Mongols come (of course, there were money and negotiation to pay in exchange for otherwise no foreigners is allowed).
      Aside, you might completely omit about diplomacy or foreign affairs between the tribes or lands. Most invasions back in the day were technically known by a group set of supporters and ppl who worked with the royals. On top of that, Medieval invasion were different because lands weren't distribute due to location but population and trading for resources (which is why the mongol is known for with their strategies).
      Beside, it is objectively wrong to say peace didn't be a solution in medieval age because of pirating or ppl who want resources from other nations that push the needs to invade. And it isn't a natural selection to governing if it wasn't internal conflicts that lead to bigger options and most of those who went for invading other nations tended to have aggression in the first place. The part that some early nations did have judicial system and it prevented the government to going for war base on what their culture beliefs.
      For most part, small country with a lot resources, they would actually work on stabilize their eco system more than going for a fight. Funan was also example until invaders from the sea coming in and most of these ppl weren't soldiers but pirates that first pulling tribes to unite together although most of it just the word of mouths because no records available because writing or culture is too diverse with large amount of ppl don't speak the same language.
