At the beginning of the article, Khoa will briefly introduce to everyone about the last feudal dynasty of Vietnam. In the history of Vietnam, stretching over the years, there are more than 10 dynasties in the history of the feudal period. The history of a country is not only the stories of the past, but it has the present and the future. Each dynasty has its prosperity and existence, without the past, how can it be today. The last feudal dynasty in Vietnam was the Nguyen Dynasty, established in 1802 and maintained until 1945. In 1802 when the Tay Son Dynasty, was defeated by Nguyen Anh's army, leading to its collapse. In 1802, when the country was unified, King Nguyen Anh ascended the throne and took the reign of Gia Long. Over 143 years, the Nguyen Dynasty had a total of 13 kings. In 1945, after the reforms and revolutions, the last feudal monarchy of Vietnam officially collapsed and the last king of the Nguyen dynasty, King Bao Dai, abdicated and lived in exile in France.
