Nguyen Dynasty

The Nguyen dynasty was the last ruling dynasty of Vietnam, which was established in 1765 by

Nguyen Anh, also known as Gia Long. The dynasty was in power until 1945, when the country was taken over by the communist government. Gia Long worked to unite Vietnam and establish the country as a centralized state. His successors, including his son Minh Mang and grandson Thieu Tri, continued to rule Vietnam with a strong hand, implementing policies such as the suppression of local autonomy and the persecution of Christians. The dynasty also saw conflicts with foreign powers, including France, which colonized Vietnam in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
