Ep. 202 | The History of China-Vietnam Relations (Part 6)

The China History Podcast
Written By Laszlo Montgomery

Laszlo brings you the exciting conclusion to the six-part series covering the history of China-Vietnam relations. From Zhao Tuo to the present day, the history of the relations between these two countries and frenemies is a great story. 

In this episode, we enter the 20th century and explore the end of French domination in Indochina, Vietnam’s fight to unify the country, and the most recent Sino-Viet history. All three Indochina Wars will be discussed and the outcomes they produced. 

Although this six-part series was only a simple 走马看花 overview of the subject, I hope anyone not schooled in the basics of this history is leaving the table satisfied.  Cảm ơn đã lắng nghe!

Thanks to everyone, especially Vietnamese speakers, for putting up with my pronunciation.
