Years: 1057 - 1057

Song Chinese forces invade the independent state of Dai Viet (present northern Vietnam), which they persist in calling Annam (“Pacified South”), in 1057.

The Vietnamese troops check the would-be conquerors at the Red River delta, then battle the Chinese in an attempt to force them back across the northern border.
