collapse the Viet were able to gain full independence from the southern Han over the next 60 years a period where twelve warlords ruled over a divided country and three short-lived dynasties ensued despite the disunity of this period a major song Chinese invasion was repulsed in 1981 stability was eventually brought about by the Lee dynasty who instituted equal rule of law rather than the whims of an autocrat the stable 216 year reign of this dynasty ended in a palace coup the six-year-old Empress was overthrown and her seven year old husband of the Tran clan was made emperor in a relatively peaceful transition the trend eyeness tea is most renowned for repulsing not one two but three Mongol invasions of Vietnam most famously in 1288 when a massive Mongol fleet was utterly eviscerated war

rule of the Thai son was overthrown by the resurgent Nguyen who consolidated the country and expanded its territory in alliance with Siam and France who supplied them weapons in exchange for a trade monopoly over time the relationship became strained as Vietnamese Emperor's sought to reduce growing French influence after jailing Catholic missionaries entering the country illegally French Emperor Napoleon the third invaded using this as pretext taking land in the south and negotiating a favorable treaty two decades later the French would conquer the rest of Vietnam and continued to take territory from the Siamese Empire during World War 2 the Empire of Japan would occupy French Indochina rolling through a puppet mber as the French had done the Japanese occupation was countered by the Viet Minh communist rebels who were led by Ho Chi Minh after the war he declared independence for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam the monarchy was disestablished and a 7-year long war with the French began the Soviet Union and communist China supported the Viet Minh while the United Kingdom and United States supported France after the war ended the Geneva Court partition French Indochina

overwhelmingly decided that the south would not be reunited with the north communists in the south alleged mass vote rigging and formed the Viet Cong backed by China the north began aiding the Vietcong while fearing communist expansion throughout the region the US began aiding the south beginning the second Indochina war or simply the Vietnam War this aid was slowly increased to air support and in 1965 3,500 US Marines were deployed by the end of that year more than 200,000 US military personnel had been deployed to South Vietnam the war would be a long and brutal affair in 1970 North

the United States by 1973 President Nixon who was embroiled in the midst of the Watergate scandal ceased all bombing of the north and subsequently pulled all troops out of Vietnam north then began to rapidly advance toward Saigon as refugees poured south fearing the communist regimes vengeance in April 1975 Saigon fell and the war was effectively over establishing the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
