Lịch sử Việt Nam

Lịch sử Việt Nam chronicles the development of a rich and resilient nation traditionally shaped by ancient kingdoms, Chinese influence, and periods of independence and foreign invasion. From the early Cuộc Bắc thuộc (Northern domination), through centuries of dynastic rule beginning with the Lý, Trần, and Lê, to French colonization and Japanese occupation, Vietnam's history reflects struggles for sovereignty and cultural identity. The 20th century saw the fight for independence culminating in the Vietnam War, leading to reunification in 1975. Today, Vietnam continues to grow, balancing its historical roots with modern transformation.
