About

TO VIETNAM 1. BACKGROUND OF THE WAR Much of Vietnam's history is the story of its relations with China, its vastly larger and more powerful neighbor to the north. The Vietnamese for many centuries have both admired China for her culture and feared her for her power. During the thousand years that the Vietnamese were ruled by China (Second Century B.C. to Tenth Century A.D.), they adopted much of the Chinese culture but were not absorbed into the Chinese race as were the people of the Canton area. Ridding themselves of Chinese control in 1038 A. D., the Vietnamese maintained their independence for the next 800 years with the knowledge that it was held more or less at the whim of China. Varying degrees of Chinese influence prevailed throughout these years until the French military takeover which began in 1858.
