Actually, england claimed Normandy for centries before they loat it in war. And Normandy are still part of the english histiry in schoolbook text. Should I just laugh at you or?
So I will claim Nam Viet (Nanyue) for the same reason. Nam Viet came from outside Vietnam that time and attacked Au Lac kingdom, like Mongol came from outside China that time and attacked Song. Maybe the same for Norman?
Chinas unification happened before Hans creation, vietnam invasion of those kingdoms are very recent, with the past 200to 400years. And minorities like baiyue are just a very small part of Hans consistant(also supported by modern DNA test of Chinese ethnicity), and mixed in, that are very unlike todays Vietnam, majority are actually not real Viet but the population that they conquered quite recently.
Show me your DNA test.
You gained independenc, you didnt regain it, you were not a independent country ever before that.
Van Lang kingdom, Au Lac kingdom, just do a google search, I don't have time for History Lesson.
Song was busy fighting Xixia and Liao at the time, Vietnam was nothing but a minor nuisance that grabbed the oppotunity to backstab, but look at the chinese history documents, the wars with Vietnam(btw. most ended up with Chinese win, not Vietnam win, dotted with periodic Viet rebellion)were never considered major or threatening, while you count how manybtime you supposely have won, why dont you also count how many time you have lost and how many times that you didnt even dared to fight and just kneeled down and kowtowed, lol, you cant just only count the glorifying part of you selective history now can you.
Again the fact remains that even after the independence, during the past 1000years, of which majority of that period of time, Vietnam was a chinese tributary kingdom, and hade permenent chinese troops stationed in Vietnam for centries both during Ming and Qing dynasty, if you were so victorious as your history books taught you shouldnt you be ruling china nowdays,lol
I know your propaganda, you want to save face, but believe me, you lost most of the time and had to get out of Vietnam, only won 1 time in Ming dynasty. We:
1) 2 times beat Song Dynasty (981, 1076-1077)
2) 3 times beat Yuan Mongols (1258, 1285, 1287), is that count when you say that Yuan Mongols are Chinese?
3) 1 time beat Ming (1418-1427) -> it's quite a long war
4) 1 time beat Qing (1789), Qing horsemen were totally crushed in less than a week by our advanced muskets and cannons, the result is Dong Da hill in Hanoi today (50.000 death bodies of Chinese invaders make that hill). We are very happy if you Chinese come and clear the site for us, you know, the price of lands in Hanoi is very high now so that hill is such a waste.
You said the Qing won and stationed there, well in fact, the Qing was only stationed for a few days until the main force from Central of Vietnam came, and then, the result is above.
5) 1979
About 1979, please, I know about your propaganda, but the only reason Vietnamese military didnt went north even your capital was approched(I mean your capital! And you still rely on militia, yeah right, that make sense,not!) was because the Sovjet satelit detected Chinese intention, which is to draw Vietnamese forces to north and fight china instead of Cambodja, that§s why Chinese military moved slowly, encircled cities but did not try to take it, that tactic failed I agree, cuz vietnamese were to coward to send they troops to be destroyed but rather let the civilian militias take the hit, innoent villagers were forced by the government to use light weapons vs tanks, result is entire village get leveled as hostile, so much for no need for regular army, arent the army supposed to be protecting the civilians, how in Vietnam it became the other way around....sigh
Despite that, as I said before, go check battle result and casualty of both side and then talk about who won and who lost, everything else are irrelevant.
Oh well, we didn't send force "to be destroyed" because we were coward, but we had fought many big battles with France and US, and then send forces to destroy Khmer Rouge Murderers
If you mean that your PLA is much more scary than France, US, Khmer Rouge combined, so we only dare to send force against France, US, Khmer Rouge, ok you win
We were scary of Chinese footmen but weren't scary of US Advanced and Overpowered Flying Fortress, Napalm Bombs, Helicopters, Tanks, Armored Vehicles... Wow, so Chinese footmen must be Predators or Dinosaurs of Ghost or something like that
I know your propaganda, but in fact we have less casualty.
China-Vietnam Border War, 30 Years Later - Photo Essays - TIME
Western sources agree with us: Chinese died more. Only your propaganda sources said something opposite :rolf:
Vietnam OFFICIALLY annonced those islands as chinese during the Vietnam war with the US, documents still exist showing that, but then after the war they just roguely changed their mind and backstabbed china, lol Chinas claim have alot more historical facts than vietnamese, also after WW2 china directly and openly claimed the spratly and paracel, vietnam at the time doesnt even exist as a country, so nobody protested at that time, nor did philipine, as I see it, the dispute have been settle by that time already, there are no dispute, it§s chinese territory.
1) You mean Pham Van Dong's Diplomatic note? Well:
- The islands belong to South Vietnam, according to Geneva Treaty. North Vietnam don't have anyright about it. Later, the end of Vietnam war is Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam replaced Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). North Vietnam didn't annexed South Vietnam, later in 1976, North Vietnam and Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam joint together and created the new country: Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Socialist Republic of Vietnam have the right over Paracel and Spartly from Republic of Vietnam and/or Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam
- Both Republic of Vietnam and Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietna opposed China's invasion in 1974.
- It's Diplomatic note, not treaty.
- According to North Vietnam's Constitution 1946, any legal treaty with foreigners have to be signed by the President, and Pham Van Dong is not the President. Therefore, the Pham Van Dong's letter is not a treaty, just a letter.
2) In Treaty of San Francisco 1951, Andrei Gromyko of Soviet asked to give China those islands, but 46 nations denied -> Fail. Tran Van Huu of Vietnam declared again Vietnamese soveignty -> no one denied:

None of the representatives of 51 countries attending the Conference objected to and/or expressed their wish to reserve opinions about this statement.
