Ming Invasion of Dai Viet

1407

Yongle's armies crossed the southern frontier and crushed the Ho dynasty, briefly annexing what is now northern Vietnam as a Chinese province. The occupation lasted twenty years and produced nothing but guerrilla resistance. It also produced, eventually, Le Loi. Chinese authorities imposed Confucian education and suppressed Vietnamese script, provoking nationalist resistance that burned for two decades.
