In 938, Vietnam became independent. In 968, the country is named Dai Co Vietnam, in 1054 renamed the University Vietnam. Great Vietnamese underwent feudalism: the Ly (Century 11, 12), the Tran (Century 13, 14), the Ho (15th century), the Later Le dynasty (15th century, 16, 17 , 18), Tay Son Dynasty (late 18th century).
