The Dark Side of Vietnam - Between the 2nd & 19th centuries, the country was ruled by four main dynasties: Ly, Tran, Le, and Nguyen. The Ly, Tran, & Le dynasties were the ones who repelled Mongol attacks & Chinese occupations to keep the country intact & unify the land. Then the Nguyen expanded the territory.
It was not until the mid-to-late 19th century that the French came to colonize the country. Many Vietnamese fought to seek independence & were imprisoned for their cause. Then the Japanese took control of the territory in 1940 until the country declared itself an independent nation in 1945 after World War II.
