FLOODS IN THE RED RIVER DELTA BETWEEN 1802 AND 1883

Abstract

In the nineteenth century, the Nguyen Dynasty in Vietnam experienced a variety of natural disasters, particularly floods. Floods occur frequently on a large scale, wreaking havoc in the Northern Delta, one of the country's two major rice granaries, causing numerous serious socioeconomic problems and having a minor impact on national security and defence. The study delves deeply into the flood situation in the Northern Delta during the Nguyen Dynasty, including its causes, the court's attitude and response measures, and the economic consequences. Political, social.
