Encyclopedia > Tay (people)

The Tay are an ethnic group of Vietnam.


The group was formed when three brothers (the Nguyen Hue) from the village of Tay Son overthrew the southern regime in 1777 killing the ruling family. After defeating the Trinh family in 1786 Vietnam was briefly unified, but an ongoing war led to their overthrow by Nguyen Anh. In 1802 a unified state was once again declared under the rule of Nguyen Anh as emperor.

Nhan Dan --- News (1419 words)
People in Tay Nguyen had joined the whole nation in the heroic struggle against the French colonialists which ended with the historic Dien Bien Phu Campaign.
Later, Tay Nguyen people continued to contribute further to defeating the US aggressors from the general offensive launched in Buon Ma Thuot to the victory of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign on April 30, 1975 which led to the liberation of the south and national reunification to move the whole nation toward socialism.
However, Tay Nguyen is still poor while hostile forces continued to launch sabotageous actions, under the guise of religion, nationality and human rights to incite division and break Tay Nguyen’s great unity bloc so as to destroy the peaceful life in the region and Vietnam’s socialist building.
