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. 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. Thir economic reforms an' a' introduced inequality in mony spheres o life in Vietnam sic as income distribution an weemen's richts.
