the weirdest part to me is they are ethnically linguistically and culturally not much different from the Chinese. Yet have never been seen as a part of China, at most a vassal, but usually an independant country. We could say something similar for Myanmar, but Myanmar has not had lots of wars with China and has also been less frequently and more indirectly dominated by China (I blame mountains and jungles in Myanmars case).

​@@EricEngle-f1qIt's not that weird. China has been the superpower of East Asia for centuries, that's why part of Chinese culture also spread to other East Asian natians like Japan and Korea. Vietnam is basically also under the influence of the sinosphere. As for linguistically there's actually not much similarities to Mandarin. Maybe to Southern Chinese dialects like Cantonese there are but not Northern Chinese. The sentence structure and grammar is just completely different, the similarities are probably only some loan words as it was under Chinese influence for centuries. Because you need to understand that China is a country that conquered many native tribes and have assimilated over the millenia, Vietnamese were just ones that were never fully subjugated.

As for language Vietnamese is a Austroasiatic language while Chinese is Sino-Tibetan language family they dont even belong to the same language group. Many Chinese words entered vietnamese but that does not make it the same. Example English is a Germanic language but over 60% is from Latin and norman french but that doesnt make English a Latin or Romance language. lol

Not to mention Vietnam is also one of the first few countries to invent and effectively master gunpowdered weapons, just after China. It's only during the few reigns when the French first attack is their military technology outdated, because of how the kings during that time spend all their money extravagantly on luxurious things.

Vietnam's story of the 20th century is 100% the best underdog story of any country of that period. Fending off France then the US without any period of rest or break in succession, then after the US, taking on another war against the Khmer Rouge and overrunning the country in 2 WEEKS and shortly after having to fend off China in the north while the entire army was busy in Cambodia. And all of that happened between 1950-1979.

Not really. Only dumb ignorant white people believe Vietnamese communists distortion of history of portraying 20th century wars as a resistance to outsiders. That's a lazy version of history which Viet commies like to portray. It's an example of Communist marketing at play. Among Vietnamese the war is known as Nationalists vs Communists. China, USSR and Warsaw Pact countries supported communist North Vietnam and the US supported RVN (South Vietnam). In fact most of Vietnam's history, the wars are fought between Vietnamese factions for power. And usually there is a faction of Vietnamese which always rely on Chinamen for help. In the 20th century, Viet commies follow this line. They imitate Chinese (Maoist) communist political system, copied Chinese flag, and wear Chinese clothes and uniforms. PAVN officers were educated in Chinese war colleges and speak Chinese. That's why Nationalist Vietnamese hate them for their overt Chinese influence. But most white people are so ignorant of Viet history. There are a lot of jokes in Vietnam about Viet commies. Example: Di tham bac means to go visit Uncle Ho's House (Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum). But since most Vietnamese refer to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum as the Sh*thouse, it's actually mean to go and use #2. LOL.

The battle of Bach Dang river was an epic victory. Prince Hung Dao used the very same tactics the Vietnamese had used in 938 in the first battle of Bach Dang river against the invading Southern Han troops. That battle is even more famous, as it ended about thousand years of Chinese rule, and marked the beginning of an independent Vietnamese state.

Tran Hung Dao (1228-1300) was a Vietnamese military strategist and commander who played a crucial role in the defense of Vietnam against Mongol invasions during the 13th century. He is often credited with the famous saying: "Chiến thắng ở chỗ kiên nhẫn, không phải ở chỗ mạnh mẽ." This can be translated to English as: "Victory is in patience, not in strength." This quote reflects Tran Hung Dao's emphasis on strategic patience and perseverance in the face of challenges, suggesting that success in warfare and life comes not only from raw power but also from careful planning, resilience, and the ability to endure difficulties.

Vietnam's history is unmatched. It is a unique and unusual due to Vietnam's long standing history of having successfully defeated the world's great powers. The Vietnamese are the one and only people in human history that had completely defeated the unbeatable Mongol army, not once, not twice, but three times before forever ending Genghis Khan's dream of conquering the whole world! Also, Vietnam is the one and only country in the world that had fought the Chinese for about 2,000 years triumphantly defeating all the powerful Chinese dynasties including Qin, Wu, Han, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing. In addition, the French invasion of Vietnam by Napoleon III began with the first attack on Vietnam in September 1858 after the French emperor Napoleon Bonaparte known as Napoleon I had conquered much of Europe, and finally ended with the French defeat in Dien Bien Phu in 1954. This eventually brought an end to a 100 year domination of the French colonialism in Indochina, which eternally changed the course of human history leading to one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century-the Vietnam War, and later came the 1979 Sino-Vietnamese War where China was crushed by Vietnam, according to nationalinterest, not to mention the 1978 Cambodian-Vietnamese War bringing an end to the genocidal Chinese-backed Khmer Rouge regime. With its unique history of resisting the world's great powers, Vietnam is still Vietnam today as the symbol of the Biblical epic David versus Goliath.

Waaaaaaay back, when training to fight in SVN, I started reading Vietnamese/Annamese history. I read book after book, I’ve never really stopped. Of all I’ve read, two statements I came across really struck a cord in my mind. The first was a statement “70 years is but the blink of an eye”, this was attributed to Uncle Ho, but it predates him by a thousand years. The second was a statement “A victory that results in 90% casualties is still a victory”. A cohesive population with only those two guidelines can’t be beaten, can’t be conquered, can’t be occupied. Any attempt to breed them out, migrate them out or exterminate them, will fail.

Even then, after Tet, if the bombing campaign had been renewed and the ground forces beefed up, I believe the North would have dissolved into Civil War. The Tet losses were so horrendous for the North. You may recall, after Tet, Giap lost his power and became an empty figurehead. After Tet, the North moved from military to Political, they won in Paris what they had lost in Tet. Having said all that, I believe the North wasted about 2,000,000 Vietnamese lives in the war. If Ho had been reasonably clever, after Dien Ben Phu, he would have economically and politically conquered the South. If Ho had been truly brilliant, after the French left, he would have had an open breach with the Chinese (which his political descendants did), openly dissolved the Communist Party (see Indonesia) and become a client state of the US. But those cards didn’t fall that way and over 2,000,000 Vietnamese and 100,000 Americans died.

@@angkhoanguyen6114 oh Dear, you are a product of indoctrination. I do concede that Tet was a psycho local turning point. Do you seriously say that the war that cost (in my estimate) 2,000,000 Vietnamese dead to less than 60,000 US dead was “won”? Have you ever heard of a “Pyrrhic” Victory? What I was trying to say, not so clearly I concede, is that if the Norths leaders had been a tiny bit clever, they could have achieved unification sooner, with better outcomes and no loss of life. The “iron hand in the velvet glove” approach isn’t that hard to manage, it was open to the leaders in the North, but they became fixated on the military solution for over 10 years (from Dien Ben phu to the Paris Accords) when all that was really needed was some political wiles! Who was the loser? Not the US, after all, the US lost 20 times more casualties to Covid in 2 years than it lost in 10 years+ in Vietnam. Vietnam lost a whole generation, both in the North and the South AND 2,000,000 adult workers and untold infrastructure and economic development. The horror of the war was the opportunity cost of the war as well as the lives and treasure it consumed.

Vietnam successfully staying itself for as long as it has, is nothing short of incredible. So many groups and nations with immense power have tried to take over that small bit of land with no real long term success. Regardless of how I feel about Vietnam and its more recent history (since the 50s), I give them a LOT of credit for this.

The recent history of Vietnam has prolonged its tradition of independence and strong will. Vietnam is one of the few countries in Asia that can say no to both the USA and China. You can compare, in terms of politics, the interactions between Vietnam and the USA and those of Japan or South Korea with the USA. I can guarantee that Vietnam can sway the USA more than Japan or South Korea can.

It would be great but the problem is that most Vietnamese people have a false idea or have no clue about the culture in pre-modern Vietnam, they still think for instance that Vietnamese people during the Trần dynasty dressed in áo dài like during the 20th century (the áo dài is the dress worn by the imperial princess at 10:06 that is totally out of place). If a movie was made with a more accurate representation of the Trần dynasty, the Vietnamese audience would complain that it looks Chinese. Unfortunately, mainly because of ignorance and modern sinophobia, I don't think there will be a good movie about ancient Vietnam anytime soon.

These environment and weather factors are way overblown. Yuan used a lot of Southern Chinese troops who basically live in the same climate and experience the same weather everyday. As for the terrains not suited for conventional warfare, this is also BS. Vietnamese history books never taught history properly so even most Vietnamese are not aware how the wars were fought in Vietnam. If you look closely, they were basically full of conventional battles. Early Le - Song war, Ly - Song wars, Tran - Yuan wars, Later Le - Ming war, Tay Son - Qing war, all were fought conventionally. This doesn't count all the times they were invaded by Champa and the times they invaded Champa. How do you think Le Thanh Tong razed Vijaya? With guerilla warfare? No, he bombarded Vijaya with cannons and gunpowder. Oh, and don't forget all the civil wars in 16th-19th centuries where everyone was fighting with muskets, cannons, and frigates/ships of the lines, each with 30-60 cannons. Guerilla warfare in Vietnam before 20th century was in fact very rare, it was always conventional warfare.

As for why it was difficult to invade Vietnam, the main reason is that they have always had mandatory military service. In most countries, when a lord raises an army, it is usually a small fighting core of knights/samurais supplemented with untrained peasants. In medieval Vietnam, when you raise an army, it is an army of trained soldiers. Every male in the fighting age must enlist, and for a couple of months every year they have to serve in the military and receive training. Because of this, Viet dynasties can afford to lose so many battles without losing the war. If they lose a battle, they just need to go south, raise a new army by calling up trained soldiers, and go again. Tran-Yuan war is a prime example of this. Yuan dynasty got some early successes, then Tran dynasty went south, raised some new armies, and counter-attacked.

Personally, I think Vietnam's history is probably the most intriguing in the world because it's unique and unusual. The Mongols according to historians are still regarded as the mightiest, deadliest and most feared military force of all time even though they existed more than 8 centuries ago. The Mongol army of roughly 200,000 troops was able to wipe out all the powerful Chinese dynasties and finally successfully conquered the entire China with a population of over 180 million people in the 13th century! With its unbeatable army, the mighty Mongol Empire peaked its power under the command of the legendary Mongol general and statesman Kublai Khan controlling roughly 28 million sq. km of territory from the Pacific Ocean to central Europe, which is 3 times as large as the land area of the present day China and almost double that of Great Russia. However, even the mighty Mongol Empire had been unable to conquer the teeny tiny Southeast Asian country known as Dai Viet! It's said looks can be deceiving. In the bloody Bach Dang River battle in 1288, the Vietnamese army led by the Vietnamese Prince Hung Dao triumphantly defeated the unbeatable Mongol army, twice its size and completely sank the entire fleet of Mongol giant warships. The Bach Dang River battle has been the outstanding and incomparable naval battle ultimately destroying the last Mongol invasion of Dai Viet. The fact that the Vietnamese prince had fully understood the natural scientific phenomenon of the rising and falling tides of the Bach Dang river and placed the wooden stakes along the river bed to impale and destroy the Yuan China's naval fleet, has been a mystery challenging and intriguing modern historians' understanding. How could the Vietnamese ancestors known as the one and only people in human history more than 1,000 years ago, come up with such an ingenious and unique strategy to totally crush their powerful invaders including the mightiest and deadliest Mongol army? In fact, the unbeatable Mongol army being bitterly defeated 3 times by the Vietnamese people in the 13th century, eventually ended Genghis Khan's dream of conquering the entire world and forever changed the course of the world history. Again in the 20th century, emulating his ancestor's battle on the Bach Dang River against the invading armies of the Mongol Empire and the Han Chinese dynasties over 600 years ago, the legendary Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap's Dien Bien Phu Battle on land against the French in 1954, in fact brought an end to a 120 year domination of the French colonialism in Indochina, which eternally changed the course of human history leading to one of the bloodiest wars of the 20th century-the Vietnam War. In the Vietnam War known to the Vietnamese people as the Great Patriotic War to unify North and South Vietnam, the Ho Chi Minh Trail system is considered "one of the great achievements of 20th century military technology", according to the US National Security Agency. Military experts added, The legendary Ho Chi Minh Trail running from North to South Vietnam, has been considered a strategic feat, and a unique phenomenon in contemporary world military history. The trail with the length of more than 20,000km (over 12,500 miles) cutting through forests and mountains, is a magnificent construction project in human military history. The Ho Chi Minh Trail is the symbol of the indomitable will of the Vietnamese people to determine to overcome all the brutality of war and all the deadly obstacles of harsh nature on the vast mountains and in the dense forests despite the fact that more than 20,000 Vietnamese soldiers had lost their lives, 6,000 are still missing in action, and more than 30,000 were seriously wounded to keep the vital trail open under the overwhelming pressure of more than 4 million tons of the carpet bombing by the B-52 aircraft. The Ho Chi Minh Trail represents the Vietnamese people's desire for independence, freedom and the national unification. Things change and the world changes, but their iron will to unify their war-torn country as one nation, is forever engraved in stone. In the past, even after a 1,000-year domination, all the powerful Chinese Han dynasties had utterly bitterly failed to assimilate the Vietnamese into the Han Chinese. And big and populous China with over 4.000 years, is still unable to conquer Vietnam. Vietnam is still Vietnam standing tall today. In his book Ending the Vietnam War in Vietnam, Henry Kissinger (RIP) - former US secretary of state and national security adviser wrote: "Since Vietnam, the concept of power has radically changed." "Vietnam represented a unique situation, geographically, ethnically, politically, militarily and diplomatically," he wrote in the memorandum, which was declassified in 1998.

In Tran Dynasty, Tran Hung Dao used 2 unique strategies. One of those is "Vườn không nhà trống" that may translate to English is "Empty ground, empty house", this strategy is so effective to defend against Mongol army, because Mongol army usually pillaged food in the country where they invaded. Thanks to the successes in the invasion at a lot of countries with that strategy, Mongol invaded Vietnam, and then they were defeated. Other strategy is planting wooden stakes on the river bottom and taking advantage of the tides invented in Ngo Quyen Dynasty in 938, Tran Dynasty inherited and applied it so well.

This just to show how your own egos can kill you quicker than a bullet even after two previous failed attempts. Supplies are the bloodline of an army. It was crucial that you pointed out the Yuan’s supply fleets were party decimated by a storm before getting finished by the Viet’s Naval force. It seems like that was the second time the Yuan’s forces had lost their mandate from heaven including The Devine Wind in Japan.

Fun fact: before the 3rd invasion, king Nhân Tông (mentioned as Trần Khâm in the vid) consulted prince Hưng Đạo for strategy. He (reportedly calmly) answered: "this year they're a piece of cake". It can be interpreted that prince Hưng Đạo understood that our people and troops were already familiar with their scorched earth-type of stragegy (abandoning Thăng Long), or that he knew the Yuan had lost its major elite forces (i.e. the native Mongolians, in contrast to the Han-Chinese ones conscripted from former Song) and couldn't come up with any inovative strategy. Therefore he had no doubt that victory was already in his hand. Prince Hưng Đạo still remains the proudest, most venerable historical figure of our folks (together with Quang Trung - but that's a different story). All Vietnamese people regardless of political alignment agree on this one. Even during the separation of Vietnam war.

Great video! But there are some mistakes: 1. Lí and Trần dynasties did not fully speak Chinese in their courts. They wrote in Chinese, but spoke in Vietnamese and Chinese. 2. The Vietnamese rulers were not kings, but emperors. They only submitted themselves kings to China, but declared themselves emperors to everywhere else. They even had vassal and tributary states. You can read more about this foreign relations concept that was actually quite widespread in East Asia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_at_home,_king_abroad 3. Trần Khâm was the emperor's real name. His dad's real name was Trần Hoảng. Trần Hoảng's temple name was Trần Thánh Tông, and Trần Khâm's temple name was Trần Nhân Tông. It would be great if you guys can be more consistent with name choices for Sinospheric rulers. If you're gonna use temple names, use it for all of them.

Vestiges of decentrialised village-level martial traditions survive nowadays in traditional village games like wrestling, marching and martial arts competitions. This means that training soldiers for war was something all villages did, all the time. When the time came, great armies could be called up at a moment's notice to fight then quickly return to economic activities after wars. But it also means the central power sitting in Thăng Long couldn't get too uppity with the peasants, otherwise there would be lots of spears pointing at their throats.

First Mongol Invasion of Vietnam At the beginning of the 13th century, Gengis Khan, having unified Mongolia, started a war of conquest against China. In 1253, Kublai conquered the Dai Ly kingdom (now Yunnan Province), thus reaching the Vietnamese frontier. The Mongols demanded passage through Dai Viet in order to attack the Song from the south (1257), but the Tran refused. A Mongol army invaded Dai Viet, smashed its defenses, and seized the capital Thang Long, which was put to the sword and burnt to the ground. The King Tran left the capital, which was also abandoned by its inhabitants. The Mongol army were not able to obtain food and fared badly in the tropical climate. A Vietnamese counter-offensive drove the Mongols out of the capital. In retreat, the enemy was attacked by local partisans from an ethnic minority group living in the Phu Tho region. This was the first Mongol defeat.

@@祖宗-q9d Did the Mongols take Vietnam seriously? Contrary to some people’s belief, the Mongols were extremely serious about their invasions of Vietnam. Success would guarantee not only Vietnam and its rich rice production of the Red River Delta but also open a gateway to the far-reaching richness of the whole region of Southeast Asia and establish a base to attack the Indian sub-continent from the east. They tried 3 times over a period of 30 years between 1258-1288. In each of the 2nd and 3rd (final) invasions , 1278 and 1288 respectively, having defeated the Song, now with more soldiers available, they again invaded Vietnam with a force of up to 500,000 soldiers, half a million (some source states between 300,000-500,000), an immensely huge force in those days. This colossal Mongol army brought with them not only fears but also astonishments to the 13th-century Vietnamese. So much so, a Vietnamese aphorism/proverb: “Nhiều như quân Nguyên” - ”So crowded, like Mongol soldiers” was born. It is still widely used in Vietnam today (especially in northern Vietnam, where all 3 invasions took place). When there is a situation which causes a large gathering or generates a presence of a lot of people, you may hear one mutter: ‘‘Nhiều như quân Nguyên’ . The aphorism is a living proof that the historical records are indeed accurate - the Mongols did invade Vietnam with an abnormally large army in their final attempt and thus it can be deduced that the Mongols were dead serious about conquering Vietnam. No such an aphorism exists in Vietnam for past invaders namely Chinese soldiers, French soldiers, Japanese soldiers or American GIs- only for the Mongols. (That said, there were actually more GIs soldiers in South Vietnam in 1968 - 549,500, but no proverbs were created. This is perhaps because the American forces were gradually built up over several years and perhaps more importantly, their primary enemies, the North Vietnamese, could not see them being on the other side of parallel 17. Also its all relative in that 500,000 in the 13th century would seem a lot more.) What was the reason for such an unusually large Mongol army for a tiny country of Vietnam with only a small population? I will touch on this a bit later.

@@祖宗-q9d So why the Vietnamese succeeded and Chinese failed? Well, the mountainous terrains in Vietnam played a major role. Here in Vietnam the Mongols couldn't advance as fast and lost the momentum as well as the typical Mongol element of surprise. It was problematic for Genghis Khan’s soldiers just to reach the heartland of northern Vietnam’s alone. It was laborious work negotiating through hundreds of kilometres of difficult passages on the mountain ranges spanning the entire border between Vietnam and China. The Vietnamese therefore had a bit more time to prepare. The Chinese on the other hand, were often startled by the trademark lightning penetration of the Mongols’s cavalries attacks. Furthermore, by the time the Mongols attacked Vietnam for the 1st time in 1258, the Vietnamese had already been aware of the Mongols invasion of China for 50 years (beginning in around 1205). Their military tactics and strengths were known to the Vietnamese for decades. Because of the difficult terrains, a sizeable section of the Mongol forces had to access the interior of Vietnam by rivers. They were the Mongols’ Marine Corps. The harsh terrains also hampered the Mongols ability to supply and reinforce effectively once their army had entered Vietnam. The Vietnamese were deadly at ambushing the supplies and enforcement. The Mongols knew Vietnam was so cut off from their bases in China and Mongolia. If the Mongols lost a major battle it would be curtains for them. Thus no second bite at the cherry. The mountainous and jungle terrains also helped the Vietnamese with the actual fighting when they strategically retreated or forced to retreat to these areas. The Mongols sometimes chased the Vietnamese into jungles and mountains where the fighting ensued. The Vietnamese, being familiar with their environment had a clear advantage there, the Mongols, steppe people, flat-land horsey soldiers, totally out of their depth. The mountainous terrains were also used by the Vietnamese as military bases for their trademark guerrilla warfare, which gradually depleted and demoralised the Mongols forces.

@@祖宗-q9d In China's case, there was sufficient flat land linking Mongolia all the way southward with all Chinese cities and provinces of strategical, political and economic importance . The Mongols were able to carry out their speedy mobilisation of their cavalries and their trademark lightning attacks, easy supplies and reinforcements whenever necessary. The terrains of China suited the Mongols military concept thus giving them the edge over the Song. The Mongols was able to maintain momentum and an element of surprise in China as opposed to in Vietnam. Another huge problem for China at the time was that it was fragmented with different factions more interested in fighting each others. It was an inward looking giant, very vulnerable to foreign aggression should it manifest itself. It did not therefore possess the ability to muster optimal military power to face what was already a formidable fighting force in the Mongols. A small number of factions even sided with the Mongols against the Song empire, which was very powerful in its own right. Not so dissimilar to China, infighting and civil wars were of course no strangers to the Vietnamese throughout their history but fortunately for Vietnam, the Tran dynasty had been in full control of Vietnam during all of the 3 Mongol invasions and had every able men available to fight the invaders. Not only that, the Tran Dynasty further maximised their military strength by securing an alliance with the Champa kingdom, which had also been under the Mongols’ radar for invasion. In fact, the Mongols had previously asked the Vietnamese to allow them to use Vietnam only as a route to invade Champa. This request was refused. The Vietnamese didn’t fall for the Mongol’s trick knowing too well they would eventually attack Vietnam possibly on 2 fronts once they had conquered Champa. Plus Vietnam had its own annexing plans for Champa even as early as the 13th century. In Vietnam, their cavalries were not as effective as they were in the spacious and flatter China or central Asia and Eastern Europe. Strategically the Mongols relied on the element of surprise with their speedy advance using horses - a revolutionary military concept, well ahead of its time. That was how they defeated most of their enemies, thrusting their cavalries with blistering speeds like a dagger into the heart of their unprepared enemies, many a times cutting off the head of the snake. Much similar to what Hitler’s forces did so successfully at the start of world war 2 in France and other European countries almost 700 years later (I am not suggesting in any shape or form that Hitler learned from Genghis Khan. The time gap was too large for that, the technologies much more advanced with full gun-powdered weaponries, mechanized warfare, tanks and airplanes by the middle of the 20th century but sure, they both seemed to have employed a similar military concept in isolation). The Vietnamese also adopted an important strategy whereby, unlike China and in fact many other countries attacked by the Mongols, the Vietnamese avoided confronting the Mongol forces head-on in battles at the beginning when the Mongol forces were still strong at all costs. Dai Viet, as the country was called then preferred to concede land and even fortified cities and retreating out of sight into the countryside and mountains. The strategy prevented the Vietnamese from being surrounded and annihilated by the powerful and speedy Mongol cavalries - the Mongols’ strength. Strategically the Vietnamese were therefore ready for the Mongols. At the start of the 3rd invasion, one of the Vietnamese generals confidently told Emperor Tran Thanh Tong: ‘Your Royal Highness, We will defeat them easily this time’. The Vietnamese employed a scorched earth policy in the final invasion as they had done previously in the 1st and 2nd, leaving hardly any produces for the Mongols to feed their soldiers and horses. Crucially, supplies and reinforcement from China by land were difficult and slow due to the mountainous terrains whilst those being undertaken by waterways were also slow, difficult to conceal, easily spotted, difficult to evade once spotted and therefore susceptible to sabotages by the Vietnamese. Water was not a medium the Mongols revelled in. Lest we forget they lost in Japan and Java because they had to enter the water. In Vietnam, a large percentage of their forces had to access the interior via rivers or the sea too due to difficult terrain. Vietnam also had a long coastline contributing to the existence of a relatively large and powerful naval force. The Vietnamese’ experience, knowledge of naval warfare and size of their naval force were in fact much underestimated. To compound the matter for the Mongols, the tropical heat of northern Vietnam’s summer sapped the Mongol soldiers of their strength and together with hunger, many of them succumbed to strange tropical diseases. In contrast, in China, where the climate being mostly Arid and Temperate, the Mongols generally did not have to suffer the unfamiliar humidity, heat and diseases of an alien Tropical world of Vietnam.

@@祖宗-q9d The final battle The Vietnamese strategically waged guerrilla warfare to chip at the Mongols' army and fought defensive battles to hold the Mongols to bide time. They waited until the Mongols fighting capability had been greatly diminished by hunger, tropical diseases and guerrilla attacks, then gathering all their large ships together, decisively counter-attacked in a bloody boarding and missile aquatic battle. Unable to withstand the sudden and aggressive naval onslaught, the Mongols’ fleet retreated in the direction of China, upstream of the river Bach Dang. Their route downstream to the sea was blocked by large Vietnamese battleships. What the Mongols did not know was that they were heading straight into a deadly trap set by the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese army tricked the Mongols’ large vessel fleet 400 strong, at low tide, and destroyed it on the Bach Dang river with small, fast and more manoeuvrable boats Prior to the naval battle, the Vietnamese had hammered or simply dropped (with rocky bases) hundreds of steel-capped wooden stakes into the river-bed. It can be said that the erection was meticulously controlled and the Vietnamese knew their stakes well. The heights of the stakes were controlled such that at high tide they were well below the surface while being just a couple of feet below at low tide. The intention was for the stakes to be invisible at either tides. They were designed to puncture the undersides of the Mongols timber war ships at low tide and block the Mongols retreating route. The timing of the naval attack therefore coincided with the daily low tide. General Trần Hưng Đạo, a masterful strategist, didn’t just want to win this naval battle, he wanted to annihilate the huge Mongol fleet and decisively end the Mongols invasion there and then. Hundreds small boats, prepared in the weeks prior to the battle, were waiting further upstream for the expected stranded Mongols fleet. These small boats timely moved downstream onto the river battle field manoeuvring between the wooden stakes or even gliding above them, both of which the cumbersome, deep-waterline vessels of the Mongols were unable to manage. Using missiles and fire-arrows the Vietnamese soldiers decimated the now immobilised Mongols large war ships from their fast-moving small boats with ease . Meanwhile, the equally weakened Mongol cavalries being simultaneously attacked on land, beat a hasty retreat back to China, never to return. Earlier on I mentioned about the huge army, up to 500,000 soldiers the Mongols deployed in their 3rd invasion of Vietnam. So huge that it even produced a Vietnamese proverb, ‘So crowded, like Mongols soldiers’. So what was the reason for this huge Mongol army in the 2nd and 3rd invasions when Vietnam was only a tiny country then with a small population and army? (Modern day north Vietnam only, South Vietnam had been a state called Champa annexed by the Vietnamese much later) Well, it was no coincidence. It was part of the Mongols strategy for the 2nd and 3rd invasions of Vietnam. Having invaded Vietnam before and failed the Mongols had been wary about all the problems they would have to face in Vietnam particularly in the 3rd invasion just like they had in the last 2 wars: Mountainous-jungle terrains and associated problems of jungle fighting, guerrilla warfare, sabotages of supplies and reinforcement; Tropical weather and diseases; Scorched-earth tactics. They knew a quick victory was crucial. It would appear that the Mongols strategy for their 3rd attempt was to deploy a huge, huge army with a hope of quickly overwhelming the Vietnamese and winning the war promptly before all these problems became detrimental. It was a last throw of the dice hoping to realise their dream to conquer Vietnam and the whole of south east Asia thereafter . It was a gamble. Unfortunately for the Mongols, their gamble did not pay off. It did not produce a quick victory as Kublai Khan had planned. The Vietnamese Royal family and its army had vacated their Capital city Hanoi early and retreated to the countryside, the mountains and sometimes as far as Champa. The Mongols just couldn't engage the evasive Vietnamese in a major set-piece battle on the flat land of the Red River Delta to finish them off as they had hoped. The Vietnamese with a much smaller army knew it would be suicidal to face the Mongols on a set piece battle or be trapped by them. By now the Vietnamese were also fully aware of the Typical Mongol sieges which had helped them defeat the Song in China. The Vietnamese army thus often retreated to the mountains in clusters and picked the right moments to deliver surprised attacks. It turned out to be a much longer war. Not exactly epic( no more than a year) but long enough that too many Mongol soldiers perished from guerrilla attacks, hunger as well as tropical diseases which their immune system had not been used to coming from a different climate, long enough to become demoralised. All the problems the Mongols had feared indeed presented themselves and haunted them horribly at the end. To wrap up, The victory was the results of: The mountainous terrains favouring the Vietnamese soldiers in jungle fighting while slowing down the Mongols cavalries, hampering and sabotaging supplies & reinforcements Natural defences by ways of strength-sapping heat, humidity and deadly tropical diseases Scorched-earth strategy denying the Mongol soldiers and their horses of food. The Mongols had to result to part- cavalry, part-naval warfare due to the 1st bullet point. The Vietnamese naval force was more powerful than anticipated, more experienced than that of the Mongols and coupled with the above, able to defeat the Mongol fleet on the Bach Dang river. The foxy military tactics of the Vietnamese in using guerrilla warfare, avoiding big battles when the enemies were still strong, successfully avoiding typical Mongol sieges and making use of the tides. It was a combination of all of the above factors. Just 1 less and I think the balance might have swung in the Mongols favour.

A little side note for those who have read or will read the book on Genghis Khan by Jack Weatherford. I am pretty sure that Weatherford is a great authority on Mongolian history but the section about VN in his Genghis Khan book just demonstrates his total ignorance of Vietnamese history. According to that book, the Mongols easily conquered VN. I don't know what sources he consulted when writing that section but maybe he should watch this video and rewrite that part of his book in future editions.

Chinese characters in Vietnam are called Chữ Nho. Chữ Nho are Chinese characters pronounced in Vietnamese. Chữ mean words, Nho means Confucianism. It is called that because it is a tool to spread Confucianism. Because of the different pronunciation, according to many records at that time, many people could even communicate with Chinese people in writing but could not communicate by voice.

​@@aburoach9268 nah, both can be right, it has to do with how you define "victory" / "defeat". In term of scales alone, the war against the Dai Viet dwarf Ain Jalut in size, boasting 300000 troops from the mongols (some source cite 500000), and about 100000 Daivietnese troops in both the 2nd and the 3rd invasions. That's at least 10 times greater than most of the invasions the Mamluks and its allies have seen, at least that's what I could find. I'll admit I'm not well-versed in the history of Africa and the Muslim World. But "greatest" it was not. The reason Ain Jalut are often viewed by international historians as the greatest victory against the Mongols has to do with the definition. Since the Dai Viet and Champa continued to give tribute to the Mongol Empire after they won both wars (arguably, the first one as well), they argued that the Mongols had achieved their purpose to inherit the vassal states of the Song Dynasty and thus, "winning" rather than a "losing" the war. Yet, if you research a bit more about the local historians pov, you'll know that the Champa and the Dai Viet would most likely give tribute to their bigger state after the war to be left in peace, as they have done so times after times in the past, and will continue to do so in the future war with the Ming and Qing Dynasties. So, from the pov of a different culture, it was a defeat from the Mongols. As said, both of you can be right. It come down to how you define "victory" in this particular war. However, had we viewed the war as a defeat the Mongols suffered, as per this video, we'd have a rather hot debate on our hand. Btw, it's far from a simple "guerilla warfare". The Mongol suffered heavy loss and retreat, knowing despite winning a massive battle at Binh Le Nguyen, they couldn't keep the occupied territory under their control for long. Later, it was written in the book "the history of Yuan", citing the reason for their retreat was the hot weather. Which has been called bullshits by many modern historians as the war took place in the middle of winter.

The Yuan Mongol army's navy in the third invasion failed precisely due to the following reasons: The Yuan Mongol army's navy approached the coast of Vietnam divided into 2 waves, the first wave gathered mainly naval forces. The army fought with warships, and the logistics fleet followed every few days. Warships of the Mongol Yuan army advanced through the river mouth and encountered few obstacles. Tran Hung Dao had information from reconnaissance that the following logistics ships had little defense and proactively attacked and destroyed them by fire attack after bypassing the Mongol warships and then using the strategy of wooden stakes planted in the river bottom when the Mongol army retreated. The North of Vietnam is shielded by the Philippines and China's Hainan Island, so it does not have extreme storms along the North coast and small storms occasionally occur periodically, they only really occur. appears at certain times of the year. Vietnamese people know very well the seasons of the year and their entire history. The time when the Mongol Yuan army chose to attack Vietnam for the third time was carefully planned by them after the first two failures. They arrived during the month when we confirmed there could be no storms in North Vietnam.

1:19That's not Chinese, that's Sino-Vietnamese, a combination of Chinese and ancient Vietnamese. Vietnam has been colonized by China for nearly 1,000 years, but not once have Vietnamese people forgotten their roots. They always understand that Vietnamese people are different. Chinese people, as long as China has a little trouble, Vietnam will immediately rise up, even the French are the same. Vietnamese people, when attacked, always fight at the risk of their lives.

From ancient times until now, Vietnam has defeated Mongolia 3 times, China 21 times, America, Japan, France and Pol Pot. However, China has never given up the idea of ​​invading Vietnam even now.

As a Vietnamese, i see your content was accurate, but there's 1 small mistake. Trân Khâm was the king's birth name. Which is not suppose to be used. In historic documents, we use his tittle Trần Nhân Tông. Same with his father. Trần Thánh Tông is title, his birth name is Trần Hoảng. This concept is like Karl the Great or Charles I, which later entitled Charlemagne or Carolus Magnus, his birth name had been lost due to reasons, but definitely not Karl or Charles.
