Our way of sharing the antiques of the time and the beauties behind it.
Introduction to the Nguyen Dynasty
The Nguyễn dynasty (chữ Nôm: 茹阮, Vietnamese: Nhà Nguyễn; chữ Hán: 阮朝, Vietnamese: Nguyễn triều) was the last Vietnamese dynasty, which ruled the unified Vietnamese state largely independently from 1802 to 1883. During its existence, the empire expanded into modern-day southern Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos through a continuation of the centuries-long Nam tiến and Siamese–Vietnamese wars. After 1883, the Nguyễn emperors ruled nominally as heads of state of the French protectorates of Annam and Tonkin until the final months of WWII; they later nominally ruled over the Empire of Vietnam until the August Revolution.
