Cham-Vietnamese War of 1446-71

Years: 1446 - 1471

Following raids by Maha Vijaya into Hoa-chau in 1444 and 1445, the Đại Việt Emperor Le Nhan Tong, under the leadership of Trịnh Khả, launches an invasion of Champa in 1446.

The attack is successful, Vijaya falls to the invaders, and "Maha Vijaya" is taken prisoner.

Maha Qui-lai is then made Emperor of Champa.

After the Champa king P'an-Lo T'ou-Ts'iuan, Tra-Toan, attacks Hoa-chau in 1469, the Đại Việt emperor Lê Thánh Tông leads a retaliatory invasion the following year with a vanguard fleet of one hundred thousand men, followed by one hundred and fifty thousand more ten days later.

Vijaya is captured in 1471, along with Tra-Toan and thirty thousand other Cham, while sixty thousand Cham are killed.

"In fact, if we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex."

― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication... (1792)
