Some random trees: "Địt mẹ mày."
American soldiers: "Ah shit! Here we go again."
Mongolian army died of unsuitable climate? American troops died of mosquito bites? You should know that the Mongols invaded Vietnam for more than 50 years, the American troops beat Vietnam for 30 years! They all carefully study the terrain as well as the soil in Vietnam. Look at the fact that the Vietnamese army defeated the 6 most powerful countries in the world! Farmers beat it all - ha ha

Shout out to all Vietnamese people watching this video. You guys are great.
jonathan smith We really love to see foreign comments. Thanks Jonathan. We always kick the enemies out of Fatherland together, never back down.
We will always do our best to honor our ancestors. Thank you Jonathan.
It's really nice seeing videos made on these historical events. As a Vietnamese, I basically only learned about it as a child and never saw it again, definitely not something widely talked about in classes or media outside of Vietnam. Watching this video and seeing that audiences outside my country know about our history made me feel proud and so, I'm very grateful.

They used the same tactics as Russia did with Napolian troops. They ordered their civilians to evacuate to mountains and jungles then burned their crops. Mongolians thought they could get food from civilians on the way but they faced ghost towns and villages. They captured Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam but saw no food.
Mongols: Take everything !!! Burn everything !!!
Dai Viet : Here !!!! Take some shits !!!

Just curious, is there any particular reason why you use a portrait of Farnese as your profile picture? not sure if I seen a video like this about his career but after seeing the image I think it would be a interesting topic.
@@superspies32 agree that our language had some influence from china but we already have our language. Just like every country's language have some similar to the other countries next to them. 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.
@@Sealdeam Yes! How did you know this? You must be pretty well versed in that era of history haha! (much more than me) I think Farnese was one of the greatest strategic minds of the 16th century. Diplomatically and militarily. Check out the Battle of Gembloux, of the 1584 siege of Antwerp.
@@Foneio The spanish were fortunate to have some of the greatest military minds of consecutive generations at their service, among them the Duke of Parma; I know something about that because that period (1492-1648) alongside roman history and the american civil war are my favourite subjects, so it was more chance than anything that I recognized the portrait of Alexander Farnese.

Dai Viet flashback
one of my fav. events in history.
Mu Qri They did. But most of the foot troops and supports were Chinese, not Mongol though. And they did fear having to come back to Vietnam for a fourth time only to die in vain doing their Mongol masters’ biddings.
Hoang Mai Many Song soldiers and generals helped in the defence against mongol invasion of Vietnam as well.
Mongols on the other hand were ruthless and barbaric therefore they didn’t gained any loyalty from most of their Chinese subjects, especially in southern China.

A small country with 4000 years of history, torn by war after war, invaded by superpowers time and time again, but the Vietnamese were not erased from world map. They still preserve their original identity, and eventually grow to become a decent country. That is quite impressive if you think about it.

Thank you! We love you too!
The strong will of the Vietnamese and Afghans can never be defeated as they have proven in history that these two countries repelled invasions from the mightiest empires.
god bless you and your coutry
Thank. Welcome.
Pakistan and Afghanistan? WTH!
empires and great nations: let's just take over that territory Vietnam
Vietnam: *i don't think so*
The French did it
Chinese be like : hold my maotai
Historically Vietnam was ruled by France for a hundred years and by China 90% of its existence.
@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.
To be fair Dai Viet was under control of China for a quite long period of time, if I remember correctly maybe around 1 millenia, and comeback as more like autonomous revolts during time where China has some internal conflict, more than we won the fight. The part where I dont really understand is why in such a long time the Vietnamese didnt absorb Chinese culture enough to recognize themself as Chinese.
Respect to Vietnam: The quicksand that buries invading superpowers
Username "Mai Zen" posted... Vietnam, the true graveyard of the empires. I'm American and agree with that and I thought you might like that
@@mortezamohammadi505 cause winning the war is not about the kill count, its the war of attrition, who ever hold out for the longest win, and also some politic stuff
@Remember the legend Then gets defeated. Afghanistan was originally called the graveyard of empires not because they defeated everyone rather anyone who occupied their land never slept well and eventually found their empires collapsed. Vietnam was very similar, every Chinese dynasty suffers a collapse due to either invading Vietnam or occupying Vietnam. The only longest existing dynasty in China history is the only one who never invaded Vietnam. It is the Zhou dynasty (1000 years before Qin dynasty).
@@generalaccount6531 The Vietnamese left the capital and retreated was just a strategy to set up the trap and use the Capital wall as a massive jail-cell, and cut off all the supply from the outside, that why the capital was left empty when they captured it 6:34 and 9:27, so while being tired and hungry and left starving for months the Vietnamese know the troops inside got sickened and tired and weakened, the Vietnamese finally planed the attacks and kill whatever left within the capital walls and take back the capital.
The British did well and weren't defeated in Vietnam
Vietnam used to be under Chinese rule for 1000 years at their beginning.
But once they woke up, not any empires can occupy their land.
Chinese, Mongol, Manchu, Portuguese, French, English, Japanese, American...all failed to occupied the holy Vietnamese land.
It's not a coincidence, it's the strong will of the Vietnamese that defends their independence.
Yes, southeast Asia is hard to invade, jungles and islands are only for the locals.
However, this also means southeast Asia countries are hard to expand.
@@svenkorlos5146 southeast asian countries doesnt have any problem to expand their country. You can find Srivijaya empire and Majapahit empire. They are a thalassocratic empire who conquer the area which today is known as Indonesia and Malaysia. There are other empire which can conquer a lot of lands there like Singhasari Empire, Demak Sultanate, Tidore Sultanate, etc.
@Rz A You totally mistook what I mean.
Expansion feom one region to another, like Turkish expands to Europe, China expands to central asia, Mongol expand to all around regions.
@@svenkorlos5146 The empire in southeast asia doesnt like to expand though but they sure love to colonize empty land like in Madagascar. Some Malay group people actually colonize Madagascar even before the Bantu people from Africa colonize it. The people in the eastern part of Madagascar actually speak the old language of the Malay group language. It is also a well known fact there that they have trade with the aborigin people in Australia long before the european found Australia but they never colonize it, some researcher even found some cannon from Majapahit/Demak era in the northern part of Australia.
Simple, Southeast asian kingdoms has no power to expand.

Great Military Power: *exists*
Vietnam: Imma end this man's career
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.

@@8bitorgy Who is we?
The allies or the allies with Soviet or the US?
@@8bitorgy We all know how well that went. Besides, it was an invasion technically because the US landed it's army in Vietnam, declared a state of occupation of South and Central Vietnam before being repelled by the VietCong, so an invasion at best and an occupation at worst
I think it was the defense minister of Vietnam who was meeting with Robert McNamara and he said "Don't you Americans read history? We've been fighting the Chinese for a thousand years, we're not about to let them take us over anymore than we are you".
Aleksa Petrovic well you are still wrong, because the US was protecting its ally southern Vietnam from the invasion of north Vietcong.

@@siddave549 who say it's easy? The first Mongol invasion on our country was so terrifying that even our own history record have to admit their force is unstopable. Heroes and generals died like flies. But we somehow learned along the way, and fought back with more efficiency.
They say Afghanistan is Graveyard of kingdoms, I say it is Vietnam.
Funny enough the Mongols actually conquered Afghanistan.
@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.
It's not like there is one graveyard of empires on this planet. Alongside Afghanistan and Vietnam, you also have the Balkans. Probably other places too.
@Gurkan B no please, no, do not encourage them to "liberate" any other countries. A few far between is sufficient...
@@islamisthetruth3402 a few french took over Vietnam because the king was focus on his throne rather than his people.So he sold and gave away lands for the french easily. He also crushed his people to ensure that. That led us to a shameful time

Chí Phèo nguyễn No one said they commonly used guerrilla tactics in most of their wars.. So its strange you would even comment what you wrote. Haha
Chí Phèo nguyễn I cant under your poor English grammar and spelling. And a meme is a joke of sorts, only morons take memes seriously.
@Chí Phèo nguyễn Nothing wrong with the meme "Trees speaking Vietnamese" as before the modern era Vietnam is a forest/Jungle nation, and the majority of our wars were fought in the jungle, where foreigners like the Chinese and Mongols and later Americans and French were not used to.
@Chí Phèo nguyễn "However, Sogetu was successful in capturing Thang Long, the Dai Viet capital later that year. The aged Vietnamese Emperor retreated out of the capital, avoiding Mongol attempts to capture him in the hills. His son would wage guerrilla warfare against the Mongols for the next few years, eventually wearing down the invaders.[32]
Guerilla warfare we waged a lot, as we are a small, tiny nation among giants so how can you say we only fought that style against the Americans? How ignorant can you be about our own history? unless you are a troll...

ok, several mistakes here:
- you guys use the "Lý Dynasty flag" instead of the Trần Dynasty's one
- the capital's name at the time was Thăng Long. "Hanoi" was used since 19th century
- 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
And they also never provide their sources too

this made me respect Vietnam even more
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.
Bro u ok?
rare to see someone well versed in my nation's history to this extent, you have my thank.

Let us *all admit* the fact that the Mongols overplayed and utterly overextended themselves
That was the reason why their 'empire' was soo short lived and cannot be sustained
Don't forget how the idiots basicly went übernazi on all terretories they had conquered turning tjem into useless wastelands that were a net negative for the empire. Plus it ensured that the surviving locals would never be truly loyal
Should have done what Hadrian did and consolidated what they had rather than continuing to conquer
Not really. The biggest issue was the lack of instituonalized power. And even that is relative: usually nomadic empire would collapse right after the original leader dies (see: Attila, Modu, Togon/Esen and the like).

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.
It is funny that American mistake that Champa is the ancestor of South Vietnam government during Vietnam War. Actually, South Vietnam government is the children of these Vietnamese who conquered Champa.
This isn’t really true for this time period, because the Chams were not actually considered Vietnamese nor did they saw themselves as that.
The Chams were forcefully annexed in early 1400s by Vietnam and since the Vietnamese forced the Chams to adopt Vietnamese costume, language and culture overall, forced assimilation basically.
Champa is not Vietnamese.They are close to Khmer or Malay.Viet ethnic(Dai Viet) defeated them in 15-16 century and annexed them into our territory.The next part would be annexed by Vietnam is Mekong Delta from Khmer Empire in 16-17 century.Vietnam is not only a defender,but also a conqueror.
Excellent episode! As a Vietnamese, I'm always reminded by my parents about this point in history. Say what you will about the Mongols and their empire, but Vietnam has a reputation for stopping giants.
Do they also remind you that uncle Ho is a great leader?
@@damiann4734 He is, indisputable.
@@huuduyvu9714 because he kills all his opponents lol
@@damiann4734 because losers remain losers so far.
Say what you want about Vietnam, but the Mongols were the Apex predators of that era. Subutai alone is one of the greatest generals to ever live.
Vietnam is dope though, tough people I agree.
The most admirable thing about general Tran Hung Dao is that his family had a personal feud with the current Vietnamese emperor, but he had put his personal feud behind the priority of his country. As a Vietnamese, I am proud of General Tran Hung Dao, but as a human I have major respect for him based on that aspect I had mentioned.
The amount of time vietnamese on war is greater than that of peace.
Well they were born from war. War between the 2 tribes that would form the nation, against china, against mongols and so on.

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 :).

The Mongol's biggest rival?
The weather
Steague32 and division... the arch nemesis of all Empires with large armies.
Chinese commanders and chinese warriors - who are not capable of wage war!
Not to mention water. Big water, river water and ocean water.
@@barbiquearea The Mongols should just stay tf away from any water
not really. It just the reason they use to explain their failure.
almost The "Mongol" in the war of 1285 and 1288 is Yunnan, Guanxi, Fujian,... no way they have any trouble with the weather.
Two of these main reason why Vietnamese won that war:
- They cut the Mongol's supply line.
- Vietnamese have advantage about naval. North Vietnam full of rivers, so Mongol's cavalry can't as fast as Vietnamese.
I’m pretty sure nothing beats vietnam farmers
Mongol before the war:"We won China so there are no reason for us to lose Vietnam!"
After the war:"There are no reason for us to win Vietnam!"
🌻🤗🇻🇳
@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.
@私の日本をアイシテル and just a little advice: You should learn more about English grammar and polite conversation. You sound kinda childish and impolite for an adult Japanese.
lol why are you so upset? Chill man...
@이순신 Omg dude, check your grammar. Who taught you how to write like this?

I'm a Vietnamese and it 's pleasantly surprising how much respect people from other countries have for Vietnam. Sending appreciation to all of you around the world 🇻🇳
Shit flag, use the south Vietnam flag please
You're still gay lol 😂 that's okay tho it's okay in USA so ur good
There were no storms in Vietnam history books. General Tran Hung Dao (he's not a prince but cousin of the real prince) knew food supply was important to any invasions. 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).
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.
vietnamese defence spirit do deserve highly praised. I can understand every.nation should feel proud of their own honorable historical events.Respect from China.And all international friend should fight for their own dream.and.their own nations and country's benefit.Put hostorical contradiction aside.
Vietnam was formerly southern China "Namyue" and was robbed by Liu Bei. The elite are gathered in Vietnam. Vietnam is small but has a strong Namyue character. In the 19th century, Vietnam defeated France and America. Western history of the "Roman empire" records that in the far south there was a people that defeated the Mongol empire 👉 🇻🇳
when a country could defeat Mongol army 3 times in XIII century, it was marvelous. so proud of Vietnam 🇻🇳
And you should be.
Not Vietnam with red flag though. The Dai Viet go with yellow :p
There were several countries defeated the Mongols. Indonesians, Afghans and Hungarians. Dont brag

Dear Kings and Generals; Dai Viet's capital at the time was called Thang Long (Thăng Long), Hanoi is a more modern name for it (not until 19th century I believe).
I know. Decided to use Hanoi to make it more relatable
@@KingsandGenerals Just a small suggestion but to avoid misleading, you can explain like this: "The capital Hanoi, or formerly known as Thang Long during this period, ..."
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. What a country.
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 :-)
We would rather die than lose our country, refuse to be slaves. Solidarity, brave, patriotism
1. Vietnamese people are emotional people: for the country, the homeland., the family, even the beautiful scenery.
=> When the invaders come to destroy these things, the Vietnamese will bring all their strength to fight to protect what they love.
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....
Các bạn không xứng so sánh với Việt Nam. Ukraina đã đốt và phá hủy biểu tượng có Bác Hồ ở đất nước Uraina. Và nước chúng tôi không theo phe phương Tây mà đánh mất hoà bình. Chỉ vì muốn Gia nhập Nato mà chiến tranh thì đó là ngu si.
There is only one answer, we Vietnamese people love our country the most, that is patriotism, the desire for peace. So fighting Vietnam was a wrong choice

Hope you enjoyed your trip
On a production note, some of the lettering using Vietnamese tonal marks appear inconsistent in the animations. Do note that the Vietnamese keyboard is only compatible with a small number of fonts. Some of the more common fonts like Times New Roman will appear correctly.
@Muḥammad al-Bangālī you know it's hard to write something in Sino-Vietnamese language
It’s not the love of war and conquest that makes Vietnam a formidable foe. It’s the love of peace and the willingness to do anything and fight anyone to uphold peace that makes Vietnam a deadly enemy.
China failed, mongol failed, France failed, Japan failed, US failed. All in Vietnam.
Edit: Cambodia, thailand, dynasties of China, thanks for reminding me
Second edit: coronavirus recently
Third edit: France expect they did but got kicked out.
but we failed ourself too...
Japan did not fail. and France had conquered and ruled Vietnam for 100 years before being kicked home
Japan did not fail, they occupied Vietnam for 2 years before the WW2 ended. Then the France came back to occupy Vietnam and failed.

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.

Thank you for bringing knowledge of Vietnamese history to the world to better understand Vietnam. Vietnam's most prominent battle against invaders on Bach Dang river, I love Bach Dang river tactics. It witnessed many battles defeating the Southern Han invaders, the Song Chinese troops, the Yuan-Mongol invaders of the Mongols, many of the enemy troops died causing the river to turn red.

actually, there're 3 battles of Bach Dang (in 938 against Southern Han, 981 against Song and 1288 against Yuan), and they employ the same tactic too.. I don't know if the Chinese didn't record these defeats because they were too humiliating (hence falling for the same trap again and again), or they knew but didn't tell their Mongol overlord out of spite..
That and don't forget with dynasty change, there was the burning of records, accompanied by negligence. That's why they say "History repeats itself."
And you are correct, Vietnam used the same terrain meta for those battles aforementioned.
"If it ain't broke..." ;)
meta is best
In ancient times, Vietnam has been expanding to the south. Vietnam has conquered southern Vietnam. Do people in the south now hate people in the north? Your logic of history education is very problematic! ! !
@@user-hs9xf2me4wI don't understand your question. In my comment, it's 2 different people (Chinese and Vietnamese), so the Vietnamese have no reason to love their northern neighbor. But the Vietnamese who currently live in the South are the descendants of the Vietnamese in the North, so why should they hate their Northern kin? It like asking if the Chinese in Guangdong still hate the Chinese in Bejing - it makes no sense whatsoever..
but when it's about a different culture, then yes, the non-Vietnamese in the South don't particularly like the Vietnamese. During the 2nd Indochina and Vietnam war, many minority groups tried to establish their own states within Vietnam, fought against both the North and South government. And the anti-Vietnamese sentiment is still quite strong in Cambodia, with many Khmer still consider that Vietnamese stole their rightful territory (that also the reason why Khmer Rouge turn against North Vietnam).
@@user-hs9xf2me4w Oh look, a Chinese person using whataboutism tactics to distract from China's imperialism.

Conclusions:
1.Never side with Southern Vietnam
2. Never Invade Vietname when they are divided
The southern Champa at that time was close ally of the northern Dai Viet, they are not really divided
Btw@sinnerandprejudice, actually Vietnam culture started from ... Vietnam ( the northern side ). Until China came and replace there culture ... at least they try. In fact, they changed Vietnamese into a rebellious people, never accept any foreign invaders rule there country ... especially Chinese.
No mention of the Khmer Empire which was next door. I do know they paid tribute in order to keep the Mongols out. Chances are the Mongols were more interested in taking over Dai Viet and Champa so they stayed clear of the Khmer empire at least until they managed to takeover Dai Viet and Champa which they failed at. Most likely they did not want to get caught in a war with three Kingdoms at the same time.
@sinnerandprejudice Lac Viet, sure. But Au Viet territory stretch from southern China to Northern Vietnam, rom Guandong and Guanxi of China to Cao Bằng of Vietnam.
@sinnerandprejudice only Au Viet are in Modern China, but China Culture didn't came after Lac Viet & Au Viet become "Au Lac", and the Culture was very different from Ancient China. But when it came, it started a conflict between the two countries, across 2000 year of history.

Thank you for finally covering this history piece that our small country has contributed to the whole picture of the Mongol Empire history and it's sphere of influence.
In school we have always been taught in pride of this period of valiant and heroic defend against the mongol invasions. Was always curious about the outside perpective thou.
Good video.
A few thing i concern about this video, as a Vietnamese myself and i also pretty good at history:
1. Dai Viet Capital's name at that time is "Thang Long" not Hanoi. Hanoi only being used as a name after the Communist Revolution in 1945 as it became the capital of Vietnam.
2. You didn't mention the "Scorched Earth Policy" was used during 3 invasions, basically every time Viet Army abandoned the Capital, they ordered people to bring every food with them and burned down all rice field surround the city and on the way retreating, leaving Mongols with no food supply.
However, this is a very good video
Only half of here are truth, the name of Hanoi has already existed for a long time back in the early stage of Nguyen dynasty, when the france attacked Vietnam(Dainam at that time) Hanoi name had been using
Tôi thấy họ nói Hà Nội cũng không sao vì nếu họ muốn biết Hà Nội và trận đánh từng xảy ra ở đâu thì sẽ dễ dàng hiểu hơn
Hanoi was named after Ming Mang king as he chose Hue as the capital. He didn't want to have a non capital city to be called a dragon city.
Tên gọi Hà Nội bắt đầu có từ năm 1831,trước khi Pháp xâm hiếm Vietnam 1858 (Wikipedia)
When china was conquered by Mogolian and dozens of other countries, Vietnam was still independent.
