Nguyễn Dynasty

The Nguyễn Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of Vietnam, ruling from 1802 to 1945. Founded by Emperor Gia Long, it unified widespread regions and established a centralized government. Over time, the dynasty faced internal reforms and external pressures from colonial powers like France, leading to modernization efforts and conflicts such as the Sino-French War. The dynasty ended following Japan's occupation during World War II and Vietnam's subsequent struggle for independence, culminating in the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945. The Nguyễn Dynasty significantly shaped Vietnam’s history, culture, and political development.
