Why Did France Choose Da Nang to Attack Vietnam? | CDTeam Why?
- On the evening of August 31st, 1858, a fleet of French and Spanish warships gathered at the entrance of Da Nang.
- The next morning, under the command of Vice Admiral Rigault de Genouilly, the first raid of this coalition completely paralyzed most of the defensive fortifications on the east bank of the Han River.
- The number one general at the time, Nguyen Tri Phuong, who was in Gia Dinh (now Ho Chi Minh City), was brought in to command the Da Nang front.
- This battle raged fiercely in Da Nang Bay for 19 consecutive months.
- From this battle, let's explore why France and Spain chose Da Nang as the first point to attack Vietnam.
