Second Chinese domination

Second Chinese domination

The Second Chinese domination of Vietnam saw China strengthen its control over the region. The area came under Chinese control in the late Han Dynasty in 43 and was ruled by Chinese governors. Even with the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty in 220, Chinese control remained unchanged with the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. A female rebel named Triệu Thị Trinh briefly pushed the Chinese rulers out in 248, but was soon overthrown. Then Vietnam was under the Jin Dynasty and the first half of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. The domination ended by 544, when Lý Nam Đế came to power.
