Results for "Khúc Thừa Dụ"

Quick answer

Was Khúc Thừa Dụ the first person to win independence for Vietnam?

Not exactly. Khúc Thừa Dụ was put forward by the people as Tiết độ sứ (military governor) in 906, marking the transfer of governing power into local hands, but in name he still held an office of the Tang court. This was the opening step toward self-rule, not a declaration of full independence. It was only with Ngô Quyền after the Bạch Đằng victory in 938 that the period of Chinese rule truly came to an end.

From the article “The Khúc Family and Dương Đình Nghệ: The Foundation of Self-Governance in the Early 10th Century Before Ngô Quyền”
