Bodies and Structures 2.0: Deep-Mapping Modern East Asian History

Hanoi and Thai Nguyen in Northern Vietnam

Thăng Long, later named Hà Nội, has played a central role in the life of the delta. As Thảo notes, "the geographical space of the Red River delta is not therefore simply a natural geographic region. The very presence of Thăng Long Hanoi with its prevailing zone of influence ... [has] brought about the unity of the Red River delta throughout history." (Thảo, Vietnam: The Country and Its Geographical Regions, 325).

The following map is from the Đồng Khánh địa dư chí, or the Dong Khanh Geography, a set of maps of Vietnam started during the reign of Đồng Khánh (1886-1888) [double check.] 


Include information on and maps of Thái Nguyên.
