Nguyen Offensive in Vietnam
1800
Gia Long's forces pressed north against the crumbling Tay Son dynasty, gathering the armies and French-built forts that would unite Vietnam within two years. The wars of reunification had been grinding for thirty years. Hue, soon to become the new imperial capital, was being refitted in stone for a dynasty that would last until 1945.
