From the mountainous border with the land of the Song to the northern tip of kingdom of the Chams, lie the lands of the Đại Việt (大越 lit. "Great Viet") . A long strait of flood-plains bordered by jungle and mountains, the land of the Viet boasts one of the earliest agricultural societies in the region. Abundance from the fields, the sea and the mountains lies waiting for taking. Yet for all its fertile territory, it is also a hard one to settle and its inhabitants have always been fighting for their survival: both the land and its peoples are unforgiving to would-be invaders.
Having broken free from the hegemony of the Tang dynasty in 905 A.D the Viet people endured a long period of internal conflicts and raids by their Cham Hindu neighbours. Chaos bred warfare and triumph, triumph bred control. Accustomed to constant fighting for centuries, the Viet excel in both guerrilla and conventional warfare. Various short-lived dynasties arose and fell experiencing both glorious victories and ignoble defeats. By 1009, a stable dynasty along Chinese-style administration was established by Ly Thai To (birth name Lý Công Uẩn 李公蘊), taking his family name, the Lý Dynasty is a milestone in the history of the Viet. Having relocated the capital from the natural fortress of Hoa Lư to the fertile, and more open lands around Thăng Long, the emperor has laid the foundation for future conquests and ‘pacifications’, including dominating the northern tribes and various incursions into Champa territory to the south.
During the last 300 years, the Đại Việt have repelled four invasions from the Chinese and initiated or endured nine conflicts with the Cham. During the early part of the 12th century, the Viet people faced a new foe: the Khmer Empire, who have since made five incursions into Đại Việt territory in recent times. To compound external depredations, being an amalgam of numerous proud ethnic groups organised into highly autonomous tribes and clans, conflict between various parts of the state, even open rebellion and revolt, is not uncommon.
The Đại Việt have endured and thrived, despite all these hostilities. Religious influences from Hindu India, Cham-influenced art and architecture and the veneer of civil and military superstructures imported from Confucian China are all clumsily assimilated into the Đại Việt state to various degrees. A new era of prosperity is set for Đại Việt as an independent regional power and nominal vassal state of the Song. Nevertheless, peace and prosperity can breed decay and corruption. The illustrious Lý Dynasty could still fall prey to internal rebellions led by powerful noble families vying for influence or to the external depredations of their bellicose southern neighbours - the Cham and Khmers. A careful Viet ruler must forge a path that secures the land of the Viet both from outside and from within.
