The fowk o Vietnam regained unthirldom an brak away frae Cheenae in AD 938 efter thair victory at the battle o Bạch Đằng River. Successive dynasties flourished alang wi geographic an poleetical expansion deeper intae Sootheast Asie, till it wis colonized bi the French in the mid-19t century. Efforts tae resist the French eventually led tae thair expulsion frae the kintra in the mid-20t century, leavin a naition dividit politically intae twa kintras. Fechtin atween the twa sides continued durin the Vietnam War, endin wi a North Vietnamese victory in 1975.
Emergin frae this prolonged military engagement, the war-ravaged naition wis politically isolatit. In 1986, the govrenment institutit economic an poleetical reforms an began a path towards internaitional reintegration.[7] Bi 2000, it haed establisht diplomatic relations wi maist naitions. Its economic growthe haes been amang the hichest in the warld in the past decade.[8] Thir economic reforms an' a' introduced inequality in mony spheres o life in Vietnam sic as income distribution an weemen's richts.[9][10][11][12][13]
