The Trung Sisters

Perhaps the most significant women in the history of Vietnam are the Trung sisters,
who in 40 A.D. became responsible for steering the very first Vietnamese national
uprising against Chinese conquerors who had been ruling Vietnam for more than 247
years. Their acts of bravery are so significant that if they had not done what they did then, Vietnam would not
be enjoying the liberties it now does and would likely still be under Chinese rule.

“Nguyễn Huệ”

was the emperor of Vietnam 1788-1792. He was also one of the Vietnam's greatest military commanders who
with the support of his brothers led the famous Tay Son Rebellion which brought peace to Vietnam for almost
100 year until French occupation.
