A big budget movie on the Trung sisters would be super EPIC! This needs to happen...NOW!
Ginger Krieg that would be wonderful.
People of Vietnam plz make it happen
Getting a traditional big budget film funded would be hard as hollywood depends on the chinese movie market for a large part of their profit. I don't believe it would be very popular there.
Anna Karenina why it would depend on only Chinese movie market? I am confused. This is about Vietnamese women, Vietnamese history, Vietnamese heroes. At least in Vietnam alone 90 million viewers for sure. I truly don’t know how modern Chinese feelings on these Vietnamese Women but their ancestors didn’t like the Trung Sisters much. I think the rest of the world would watch a true story with lesson learned on human resilient and bravery regardless of what nationality. It’s rare to see women saved the day in real life, especially fought and won against the most powerful army in that time. This need Hollywood touch to be a EPIC movie. We can dream right?
pls dont their story will be ruined by radical feminism if hollywood gets their gruby hands on it
Thank you, most videos of Vietnam history on the internet are either about Vietnam War or non-existent. Hope you keep making more history video about Vietnam.
This was a Vietnam war too. Did you mean the Second Indochina war?
Read about how Vietnam defeated three mongol invasions. It’s epic
Gela A in that case there was no “China” neither til after the fall of Qing dynasty’s in the early 1900s. Lmao
Gela A also it was called Giao zhi during the Chinese 1000 year colonization, the name Annan was only used by China for the Viet nation during the Middle Ages. Class dismissed. 😜
@Gela A it is a group of tribe in China and then go to west and invade khmer.
I'm not Vietnamese but I always thought that the Trung sisters were cool historical figures. I like how they're portrayed as standing on top of an elephant while carrying weapons.

VN's history is quite fascinating. If you're looking for youtube video materials to make another series, maybe look into historical battles of Vietnam (please! :D).
We have learned our history from the 5th grade .
Thank you for listening to a part of the proud history of the Vietnamese people
This war happened in March, 8th, 40( 1st century). An exciting coincide when The Women's Day is also in March 8th. We Vietnamese have found Trung Sisters like a symbol of Woman. We have a sentence that " Giặc đến nhà đàn bà cũng đánh". It mean when invaders came, women are as troops protecting our country
It's marvelously amazing, isn't it? Thousands of years ago women as military leaders personally leading an army into battle against their invading enemies, were absolutely unheard-of. Surprisingly, Vietnam's thousand-year history has had 2 female military leaders (the Trung siters in 40 AD and Lady Trieu in 248 AD) fiercely and fearlessly in person fighting against the invading Han Chinese Empire for their country's independence and freedom. This clearly explained why Vietnam's rich history has intrigued so many people around the world.
the Trung sisters should be a big budget TV mini-series
DNM's Interests it would be a good one so long as it sticks to historical sources and doesn’t try to be all flashy with the fight scenes and battles
Yeah sounds great. Lets have two blonde, blue eyed white woman play them though. Wearing sexy outsfits. Then make the evil general a white guy. Throw a couple black guys and a funny dwarf.

what did you said Nguyen????
@@klabumalami6699 Glad that you asked! Those were the vows Trung Trac made to her armies and her people before she rode into the first battle. It's a four-sentenced poem, which is not only famous, but also has an absolutely epic and badass tone to it, especially for a woman at that time, or any other time in fact.
Rough translation:
First, vengeance for my homeland
Second, restoration of Hung dynasty's legacy (The glorious mystical founding dynasty of 18 successive kings of Vietnam)
Third, vengeance for my beloved husband
Fourth, total integrity for this land and its people
Hope you like it! However this one is not my favorite though. For more epicness, I suggest you check out Nam Quốc Sơn Hà (Sovereignty of the South) by Lý Thường Kiệt. This is the one poem so epic that it wiped out 40 thousands invaders from the North. The truth, I leave it to you ;")

Vietnamese viewer here. Thank you for uploading this video. Most history videos about Vietnam is about our more recent wars. I’ve heard about this story ever since I was young and it must have been hard to do research on this.
Hi. I am from Vietnam, and I have watched many of your videos. This has been a well-made, well-narrated video, showing a good amount of respect towards Vietnamese history. I really appreciate your effort. Still, Vietnamese history before 20th century (when the country was featured in world news with the wars with French and Americans) still remained virtually unknown to the West. Hence, I hoped that you could do more videos in the future presenting that part of Vietnamese history, covering impactful events like: Vietnamese victory against 3 times of Mongol invasion (1258, 1285, 1288) during Tran Dynasty (these victories, in my opinion, decisively stopped Mongol expansion into South East Asia, contributing to halt Mongol expansion worldwide, and probably to also the decline of Mongol empire), Vietnamese success in repelling Ming China domination (1407-1427), Tay Son' s victories against Siam invasion (1785), and Qing China invasion (1789).
These three wars were impressive but you also have to keep in mind that the Mongols were used to cold climate and their bows became very ineffective in the damp and hot climate of Vietnam (this is already why they had such a hard time to conquer the Song and never got into India). So even if they won, they probably wouldn't have went any more south, it was unrealistic for them to do so, especially considering the logistical difficulties with resupply.
And the downfall of their empire was more due to internal infighting and the division between each sons of part of the domain than to military defeat.
This is not to downplay these achievements but to put some perspective to it
The weather of Northern part of Vietnam in the winter (Nov- Feb) is neither hot nor damp.
HIEU TRUNG Vietnamese like to dish out punishment!!
@lillith shopping :You say it like the Mongols are just a bunch of weak teenages who are not used to go to war and simply lose to Vietnam because of some tropical diseases (truth is they are strong as hell, plus in winter time northern Vietnam climate is very similar to Southern China) and downplay the tactics used by Viet Generals at that time. Its like saying oh the french lost in Dien Bien Phu is because they are too far away from american supply, the american lost because there are way too many anti war protestations going on in their country. Remember that the mongol empire is one of the largest empire in human history. They could easily crushed the Viet if the Viet are not unified and employed guerilla tactics.. lol
There are many reasons why the mongols could not conquer India: the mountain Everest as natural barrier, India is very densely populated even more than China, indians armies are strong and they have their very unique and distinct national identity and culture, tropical diseases, supplies and logistics issues....
I literally didn't know any of this. Thanks for learning me so well.

Never knew Vietnam had this rich history. Surprising for a country dominated by different foreign powers for centuries.
Most of our history was erased from books and scrolls by china. It is a shame. Some Vietnamese historians are convinced that a lot of china's advancements and inventions were actually vietnamese but taken.
For example the legend of the Nỏ Thần An Dương Vương (Divine bow of King An Duong) was said to he dated back to about 2500 years ago. Which is 500BCE. The legend states that it was a magical bow made out of the turtle god's claw and that it could shoot multiple arrows at once and was never seen before.
The legend says the foreign force that the bow is used upon failed to invade, so instead they married off their prince to King An Duong's daughter. And after gaining the trust of King An Duong, he stole the Divine bow and brought it home to use it against Dai Viet. Without the divine crossbow, Dai Viet did not stand a chance and lost. It is a tragic tale.
But historical findings say that this legend may have more truth to it than expected.
While the "divine bow" was never seen again in Dai Viet until much later, crossbows started to be a common arm for the chinese military in 400BCE. 100 years after the legend of the Divine Bow of King An Duong.
I believe this epic is a sorrowful story about the oppression of the Dai Viet people and a hopeful reminder to our modern day vietnam that we are capable of great things, despite our small size as a nation.

I remembered these two sisters from your video about Vietnam, and I'm very happy that they got the whole spotlight this time! I also *adore* these collaboration series!!
Thanks Docor Octavius
Thank you for doing this video. I grew up hearing about Hai Ba Trung "Two Trung Ladies/Sisters" and they're still an inspiration, especially when it comes to "girl power". Throughout Vietnam's history, there were several other badass women aside from the Trung Sisters and Lady Trieu. For example, during the Tay Son Rebellion in the late 18th century, one of Emperor Quang Trung's general is Bui Thi Xuan, who is one of the 5 Phoenix Women fighting on the Tay Son side. According to legend, Bui Thi Xuan was so fearless that she saved her husband-to-be from a tiger and faced her execution by being trampled by an elephant faced on. She was so terrifying that even the men and the elephant ordered to execute her were terrified.
Amazing. Sad outcome, but inspirational.
Indeed, the Trung sister's story had inspired generation after generation of Vietnamese people until modern day of vietnam. Their struggle for freedom and independent has never been forgotten.
I learned about the Trung Sisters in a Vietnam war class I took this year. It focuses more on the Vietnamese perspective which was really interesting.
Sounds like an interesting class :)
So how much difference from Epimetheus's view?
Thank you for listening to a part of the proud history of the Vietnamese people
In Vietnamese history, it says that Trung sisters got defeated because the Chinese generals ordered their men naked to fight the Trung sisters' army which consists mostly women. These women were brave but still conservative, female soldiers ran away when seeing naked male soldiers. But Chinese history does not say that. So it's true or not. H
@@sgcl10658 Noone could know it happened or not. However, NO historical documentary from both sides, Vietnam and China, presented the information that Trung sisters failed because their soldiers were too shy seeing naked men. Besides, it offends the bravery of Vietnamse heroes that standed for the independent Vietnam from the Han dynasty 2 thousand years ago.
Historically, Vietnam had many female generals. From ancient times to modern times.

lesson: overestimation is better than underestimation
That is a very good life lesson
Which oddly enough is the same mistake the sisters made. They thought they had won, and under estimated the response of the Hans. They let their guard down and stopped once they gained their original lands back calling it a victory. Big mistake..........tyrants always come back.
Underestimation often makes huge and embarrassing mistakes (which is why people notice them most in History).
HOWEVER, overestimation is the true silent killer. Overestimation oftentimes means countless missed MASSIVE history-altering opportunities in history.
Nevertheless, the best option is to simply have the right reconnaissance and information so we don't have to put ourselves in a position to estimate.
@@FFFFFFF-FFFFFFFUUUUCCCC
Art of War: Know your enemy.
Bill Kennedy so true on Chinese always come back, maybe until the ends of times. The Sisters didn’t overestimated their triumphant. The Hans outnumbered Vietnamese in the second battle with the Trung sisters. Chinese haven’t stopped trying to assimilate Vietnam even today. Our ancestors taught us never to put our guards down towards the Chinese no matter how they appeared. Chinese alway crawled back to China after lost yet another battle to Vietnamese. Normal people will be too proud and humiliated to show their face again. They’re not normal.

Hi Epimetheus,
Just wanna let you know that you got Vietnamese viewer and fan here.
edit: yep, Vietnamese give their neighbor the Vietnam's Flashback since 14 AD before U.S.A. came along "Liberate" us
We were upholding our global hegemony by combatting the other attempted world hegemony on a ideological level.
And it was successful. Vietnam is westernized and the Soviet Union collapsed. If you think we didn’t get what we wanted. Then you’re not paying attention.
I just wish our government was more like chinas in certain aspects, so we could further push our civilizations dominance and strength. Instead governments in the west are corrupt bureaucrats who care about themselves not the civilization.
Either way, we became the world hegemony and now have a military base or troops in every major nation on earth. The world is westernized. We are basically the Rome of our times.
Anyways, cheers! I wish for no animosity. I prefer people of different nations poop talking eachother like friends instead of killing eachother with guns :)

Couldn’t help but think of Boudicca and her defeats of the Romans in England. It began a bit differently but the end was the same.
@@standingwave73 Oh? Did you also watch the recent kings and generals video on Boudicca's revolt?
I mean... when Boudicca actually faced a legitimate professional army, even when 5 to 1 they got massacred on the field. Even with their family, women and children behind them, they could not simply beat a veteran enemy on 'heart' alone. Romans charged right into their large army in three wedge formations and never broke rank due to their discipline. Romans only lost 400 soldiers. Before then, she attacked unwalled settlements and overwhelmed local garrisons.
In this regard the Trung sister were so much more successful because instead of just being a wife of a chieftain they were educated in the military manner, as shown with the scope of their victories, successful annexation of cities and ruling for two years as the Han prepared for a counteroffensive. Whereas Rome never got to the point where it needed to build up forces to sufficiently wrestle the region back into the fold.
@@standingwave73 yeah but Boudicca was bloodthirsty barbarian savage
Great video Epimetheus! I might be wrong but I always felt that Asian countries have had a sense of nation much earlier than European countries. I mean, China was already China when Europe was just a bunch of tribes loosely related by a common culture. For example, it wasn't until the Third Republic (19th century) that regionalism in France was chocked in favor of a national identity. I guess it has to do with administrative differences and the decentralized nature of Feudalism?
Glad to have taken part in this collab with you man.
i think east asian history also has a lot of very well documented events and characters at an earlier point in history due to the discovery of paper. I love world history but i wish east asia got more attention

@@kevinzhu6417 That's a great point. A lot of Frankish history, for example, comes from later sources and are quite anachronistic. The Gauls weren't allowed to write and so most of our sources come from Romans and Greeks, which are quite biased. I wish East Asia got more attention too.
I'm glad you enjoy my channel!
It definitely didn't help that their earlier history was practically written by their enemies, even their names written in a Roman manner. The same happened to any of the peripheral people that were in contact with a Chinese dynasty. Even their khans had sinicised names, whether they wanted it nor not (northern wei emperor xiaowen purposefully sinicised his state). On some occasions, names are just lost and we only know how they were called by the Chinese.
The Trung sisters's legacy is still later on. My hometown is Haiphong which was built 2000 years ago by female general Le Chan - the Sisters's naval commander.
Loving it. They may be a well known pair in Vietnam but I for one had never heard of them. Also loving that YT's history channels are collaborating on the history of revolutions. The weather is warm... everything is great!
this story should be better known.
great video.
Yes it should be
Thank you, SEA history is usually ignored by youtube history channels
Chinese history was 99% ignored till the big TW Three Kingdoms push.
Pirates, Knights, Romans, Ninjas and Samurai is all the average internet 'history buff' cares about XD.
Not that I hate those subjects, infact I love all history. A lot of people just need to broaden their horizons historically.
@@raeitifraosi6247 Japan was actually quite isolated in East Asian History for the majority of time besides few big debuts. Most of the times, East Asian history was centered around sedentary civilizations(mostly emperor of China) and their tributaries(Korea) VS nomads(xiongnu, xianbei, gokturk, khitan, mongols, manchu, and etc).
@Zen Kuroi Don't be rude anon
SEA has many interestring oral and written historical events, one of em is that the Burmese (Myanmarese) used to kick out the invading Superpower " CHINA " back then.
The sisters were friends with the talking trees

Great video. I have some small inputs here:
1, the remnant of Trưng Trắc and Trưng Nhị's resistance ran to modern day Sumatra, Indonesia, where some of the old Vietnamese customs can be seen. Further reading please refer to the Minangkabau people.
2, the Han dynasty, which is a patriarch, did not realise that Viet people employs a matriarchy society, so they did not think that it is actually Trưng Trắc the heart and brain of the resistance since the begining.
TY Epimetheus for this fascinating video ! Being completely ignorant of Vietnamese history except for the conflicts vvith the French & Americans I found this video very enlightening & hope after looking through the videos on your channel have subscribed so I may learn more of the historys of these vvonderfull cultures that my school history books failed to cover, TY again.
Ohh I read about and leaned this this conflict in my History of Vietnam War class, great to see this channel talk about it!
The Vietnamese are very resilient people
10 OG someone’s mad over 1968
@@asstrakhan5932 Ah yes, they are mad about a war where Vietnam lost every single battle, and still claim victory after the their entire northern infrastructure is destroyed.
T Doran did I even mention loss of lives? I mentioned a date. I’m not against the Vietnamese. In fact I brought up the date poking fun of this imperialist who probably is still mad over the loss of the Vietnam war to guerilla village fighters. Why you even decided to write this comment is beyond me. Please retreat to another comment thread on another video on another website.
@T Doran Vietnam was at the whims of other larger more powerful nations, between China, US and USSR, no mater which one they choose they will die in the millions.
@@asstrakhan5932 I was a South Vietnam soldiers, I fought five years in that war and to the end . Your comment was a wrong one .
My secondary school is named after Trung sisters, I'm so proud! Thank you so so much for making historical videos of Vietnam as well as other countries. Great work man!
The Trung Sisters just add up more to the huge historical and heroic Vietnamese characters trough History that has crowned Vietnam with glorious fight and victory over vicious foreign invaders. To my old friend Luu Phôung in the USA, my best regards and greetings forever!!
I learned about this rebellion in your history of Vietnam video but I am glad to learn more about it
I admire your story telling.
Thank you so much for your time and effort in making this clip!
❤️ Love Vietnam
You can write about Tran Hung Dao with the Mongolian war ... one of Vietnam's talented generals. Thanks!!
Proud to be a Vietnamese. Thank you for making this video ❤.
Proud to be chinses😊
Everybody is gangstar until they see two woman on elephants with an army.
I’m going to start writing a movie or show about this. I’ll make it a mission.This is such an epic and legendary tale!
Once again shows how hard it is to control Vietnam
@Deniz Julian T. and Vietnam would beat it 24 times
Micahistory 2 but that just means China beat Vietnam 24 times to colonise it. Vietnam was colonised by Chinese for roughly around 1100 years.
Hoàng Dũng Nguyễn I disagreed with your thoughts. Maybe you called yourself the Han people not the rest of us Vietnamese. Micahistory 2 is correct in his arguments 👍🏼. You seem to not understanding Vietnam history. Chinese tried to overpower Vietnam since the beginning of our country but failed miserably every single invasions. They only succeeded 1 time in enslaved Vietnam after failed the traditional battles with us. That’s a cowardly way of invasions. We eventually kicked them back to China running with tails between their legs. We refused them,their language,their culture, traditions, beliefs and especially their sexist ideology towards women. Good day.
Hoàng Dũng Nguyễn do you know why I said slavery is a cowardly way of invasions by Chinese? They aimed at Vietnamese civilians! In battle military fought against military. China couldn’t beat Vietnam in battles they resorted to use the back door into Vietnam tortured innocent Vietnamese civilians. This was a malicious vengeance against Vietnam to wash shames and humiliations for themselves and their ancestors. Reason the Trung sisters stood up fought the Han ended slavery. After this period China continues lost countless battles to Vietnam. What history books did you learned from?
@@jennienguyen7137 yeah
And yet, many western Total War players (Three Kingdoms Total War) are complaining about the existence of female generals in the game. They should watch this video to fill their gap in Asian History. Unlike western history, Asian history has many accounts of women warriors/war leaders, including the Queen Sri Suriyothai of Siam (Thailand) who dueled with a pole arm on elephant back with a king of Burma.
Why should western players change because of eastern culture? It's not their culture lol. Besides, all these female warrior tales are all either pretty lame or good but short lived. Not knocking them but it really is more of a romanticizing than anything else. They're just not that impressive in the grand scheme all of the other battles and warriors throughout history.
@@themakeshifthero8653
You do realize total war is based off ROMANCE of the Three Kingdoms Right?
Keyword, ROMANCE! Hence having some notable female characters doesn't harm much but explore more interesting alt history route. No harm there, no reason to complain
@@bosunbill9059 That's fair.
@@themakeshifthero8653 I never said that they were good fighters. I just said that there were female generals leading armies at least in Asia. I never said about how well they fought. [Off-topic] To be honest, I am a gun range instructor, from my experience women have better shooting scores than men. So, if the two genders fight against each other with guns, I know which side I will place my bet. And I never said that western players should change, I just said that they should understand when they come to play an Asian theme game.
@@พ.ส You're right. You're wrong about that shoot out though lol. Very wrong. Shooting at a range and being in a shootout for your life ain't the same kind of shootout lol.
In the Vietnamese Historical Textbooks for students, Trung Sisters were commited suicide by jumped into Hát River, to perserve their chastity, not be killed by enemies.
This really needs to be a movie!
Another very nice video ... and a very nice success, I know almost nothing in the history of this great and interesting country, thanks!!🙏🙏
Wonderful story of the Trung sisters revolt against Chinese colonization. I never heard of them before. I think it was the story of matriarchal Vietnam fighting against the patriarchal Han Chinese occupation. The Trung sisters courageously led a Vietnamese army composed of male and female generals that defeated the Han Empire army and free Vietnam from occupation for two years.
I thought Asians are patriarchy

Not before the sphere of influence from China
@@wanderngchopstcksii1078 CHINESE PATRIARCHAL COLONIALISM
The sisters revolted against Han. They were descendants of Qing Chinese. They are not Vietnamese at the time.
They are Chinese in Vietnam (Han people).
The resistance was the Manchu people in the Qing Dynasty, not the Han people.
* Ancient Chinese = Han ethnic 漢族人
* Cochin 交趾 = one of Ancient Chinese cities (today's northern Vietnam)
Vietnam, giving every major power flashbacks since chinaboys came in
As the Chinese, I don’t how to say, in the one hand, I am very pride of the mighty and great Han dynasty who successfully defeated Huns from invading us and caused a big problem for the mighty Rome empire, on the other hand, the brutality of local or foreign governors should be always condemned. From this point, the two sisters have done a good job. History shouldn’t be forgotten but people need to look forward.
General To Dinh sent Mrs. Trung Trac's husband Thi Sach to the pyre so that she could retreat from attacking, but she knelt down to her husband to apologize and still attacked General To Dinh's legion , To Dinh was attacked by 2 sisters Ba Trung defeated the legion's General To Dinh had to hide in a sewer pipe and then ran back to China....today Descendants of 2 Trung sisters still live in Indonesia 🙏🙏🙏
totally propogandist， if you are right historian and should tell whole true nothing but the true。Chinese history book
had been well record so called vietnam at that time, what is book of post Han describe this north Vietnam at that time .
it is totally no civilization , no human , it is animals how the history book said that area people live on the tree,
eat raw fish, all the kids dont know who was their father . male and female just mate themself as wish as they like
totally no different from animal kingdom.
what the chinese brought civilisation to this land , teach local how to make farmer tool and plantation and water irrigation system
and human society ( woman belong to one man , kids know who was their father and mother )
At that time , even white live in cave and eat their mates!!!
Lịch sử Trung Quốc có ghi chép về chiến Tranh Việt Nam mà Trung Quốc dành chiến thắng hay thất bại không ?
@@EwSx1w3ge3Of course China kept record of Vietnam War. The answer is neither. The major point of Vietnam War is US wasted resources and lives and lost the war. Chinese actually tend to praise the Vietnamese in their war against American.
The Sino-Vietnam war is a different matter, and the Chinese name for it fall in a umbrella term that usually suggest short term military conflict instead of all out war.

As a vietnamese, we bestow the title of these two ladies with "ba`", signifying respect. I never knew the full story but I've always heard about bits and pieces from my family as I was growing up :)

@Hoàng Nguyên What if we were alone in this universe, bruh? To whom would we pass our history and heritage at the end of time? Our solar system won't last working forever and so is our existence. How do you think you will be able to solve the Fermi's Paradox?
@@bamboo9666 You relied on Google Translate too much, next time try learning the language straightforwardly from the native! Don't be fooled by online translation softwares! Even Google Translate can't generate proper and comparable translations a lot. TLDR Bà exactly means grandma/grandmother not miss/M.s!
Bà means Mrs. as they were married. Vietnamese also use the word "cô" as Miss, "ông" as Mr. Bà, cô, ông dont necessary mean grandma, aunt, and grandpa.
Interesting stuff to hear about. I knew of them because they're the leaders of a modded Civ 5 Civilization I've had installed quite a few times, but I didn't know their story.
Great video!! Love your art of the sisters!

That was all our Baiyue ancestors’ old land
@@TrangNguyen-tn9pb In China after the Qin and Han dynasties, Dongyi referred to the native peoples of the Korean Peninsula, Japan and Northeast China,So are the Japanese, Koreans and Manchurians the same people?
@@TrangNguyen-tn9pb Baiyue is the same situation. Baiyue refers to hundreds of tribal countries established by the aborigines south of the Yangtze River in ancient China, but it does not mean that these hundreds of tribal countries are really the same nation
@@TrangNguyen-tn9pb In ancient China, the nomadic peoples of the north were collectively referred to as the North Rong, but the grasslands of the north were actually inhabited by many ethnic groups, such as the Turks, Khitans and Mongols
@@TrangNguyen-tn9pb Actually ancient Vietnam is just the southwest part of Baiyue in Chinese population, this kind of name is from the perspective of Chinese people, not the internal perspective of Baiyue, you Vietnamese claim that Guangdong and Guangxi are your homeland, in fact it is just for political purpose and national sentiment, Guangdong and Guangxi have nothing to do with Vietnam
Omg I was super surprised to see a well known history channel make a video abt an accient history of VN. Am so touched that some foreigner starts to be interested in our historyTT, thou our history is mostly noted in wars but its still very epic, even times be4 French colony. Like with the story of Trung sisters, they were way back in the beginning of VN but it already explain the toughness and strong charater of Vietnamese women thru out history of VN and the Viet women today:) I hope u could make some more videos abt our ancient history:) I think it would give foreigner some sense and explanation into part of the attitude Vietnamese give to outsiders that get in VN in wars why it continued to be present strong all the way to America war time

Lý Long Tường (李龍祥; 1174-?) was a prince of the Lý Dynasty of Đại Việt (in modern-day Vietnam) and later became Lee Yong-sang (이용상) of Hwasan, a general of Korea. He is an ancestor of one branch of the Lee (or Yi) family today in both South and North Korea.
This is a great video about the Trưng Sisters of Vietnam. Thanks to the author.
About women's roles in Vietnam's society, perhaps the following sayings (in Vietnamese, then English translation) also help with some further understanding
# Giặc đến nhà, đàn bà cũng đánh (Enemy arriving to your home; women too fight!)
# Con dại, cái mang (Chidren turned bad; mother bears [responsibility])
# Đồng vợ đồng chồng, tát Bể Đông cũng cạn (Wife and husband in unison, even the East Sea could be bailed dried - Notice that "Wife" is placed first)
# Nhứt Vợ nhì Trời (Wife come first, God come second)
# Vợ chồng ta tuy hai mà một (Us wife and husband, being two but in fact only one - Notice that "Wife" is placed first)

Welcome to fgo. Excited to see people in our neighborhood. i like them
Thanks for telling this epic heroic story of the 2 Ladies Trung.
Big repect from Vietnam for you really hard working
it's unfortunate that i can't cite you as a source for my essay. you have given me a better understanding about what happened with the sisters than any scholorly article has given me so far. thank you tho!
Thank you for doing this video. The Trung sisters are indeed our national heroes and have been from ancient times.
Thank you very much for deep understanding of Vietnam history 🙏
Vietnam education needs these resources. thanks you so much for making this video!
I am glad to see you as part of this collaboration!
Short and simple . Great video.
They should make a movie of them
But we don't have enough money 😢
Finally a focus on women! Well done. Sometimes watching history videos is like women were only invented in the 20th century. History is written by men - that doesn't mean that women didn't partake in major decisions. It has just been erased/forgotten. But not these women. I want to know more about the Lac Viet people who lived equality!
That was great man, thanks for you work! I hope someday you could make a video about the story of the Old Lao, the ancestors of the Tai Kadai, also known as the "Baiyue". it's very fascinating stuff.
Your drawings always impress. Great video and a fascinating topic.
Thanks man! :)
I am now interested in seeing more Vietnamese warriors throughout time that were famous or to a degree known
I am grateful to be alive for this renaissance of history youtubers
Thank u for history’s ‼️I am Trung Vietnamese
Never Hardly in the history of the world Females ruled ‼️‼️
Great video! Did not know about these kick butt women...very interesting part of history. oh and your art is great as ever!
I agree
Project Revolution is awesome and so were the Trung sisters!
Yes they are!
Great video, it is amazing how much southern and eastern China has changed over the last 2000 years.
Southern and Eastern China? What part? Vietnamese don't call China sea, they called it the Eastern sea. Just like I don't call Taiwan chinese, I called them Taiwanese. It's a shame when the Olympic called them Taiwan Chinese.
I have to admit, Vietnamese women are really strong. Never mess with them!
American interference in Vietnam's civil war turned out to be a serious mistake. I say that as an American whose father, a Marine, served two tours of duty during the war. I don't fault the soldiers, marines, seamen, and airmen who served, but they should never have been sent there.
Thanks for making this video 🤗🤗🤗
This would be such a cool game if made
I would buy it
