Introduction Since the onset of colonial conquest by French troops in 1858 followed by various multiple wars throughout the mid 20th century, countryside life in Vietnam has been centered on enhancing social changes together with focusing on national and international discourses such as economic policies, revolutions, and nation-building. Based on this fundamental argument, this paper focuses on investigating some of the major events that took place in Vietnam in the early 20th century (1890 to 1930), mid 20th century (1930 to1960), and later 20th century (1960 to 2000). Early 20th century (1890 to 1930) Vietnam was characterized by a series of alliances that were formed with the chief purpose of protecting the rights of people who believed they were exploited through the instruments of governance such as harsh court rulings made by colonial regimes. In the effort to curtail such uprisings, Hoi Ty prohibited the appointment of people into administrative posts if they came from the same region they were to serve (Byung 91). Even in the plight of this approach of enhancing governance, resistance was still eminent in the 1890 to 1930 era of Vietnamese history. For instance, Gia Dihn became under control of troops belonging to French, thus prompting the emergence of several movements formed through initiatives of the Vietnamese within all areas that were occupied by the French. Such resistances were led by court officers and peasants including Nguyen Trung Truc. In particular, Nguyen Trung Truc formed Vietnamese history in this chronological historical period by deploying guerilla war strategies to sink gunship belonging to the French troops. In Northern Vietnam, court officers led movements, which fought until 1895. Within the mountains of the northern part of Vietnam, Hoang Hoa withstood fights against French until 1911. The resistance forces lacked modern weapons. This prevented their direct engagement with French troops in combats. The above challenges led to the emergence of two main movements. Dong Du emerged in 1905 under the leadership of Phan Boi Chau. The main strategy of the movement was to train students in Japan on war skills for better engagement with French troops in combat in the future. Phan Chau Trinth started Duy Tan movement. The focus of Phan Chau Trinth was educating people to facilitate modernization. According to Phan Chau Trinth, modernization would facilitate efforts of peaceful coexistence between French and the people of Vietnam. In the early part of the 20th century, Quoc Ngu alphabet also emerged. It was incorporated in the language of Vietnam people. The main goal was to make learning easier since the Vietnamese alphabet was considered too complicated for adoption informal learning. The two already-formed Vietnam movements were suppressed by the French, thus prompting the emergence of more radical ways of countering the French people (Quinn 82). This happened upon borrowing the experience of revolutions in both Russia and China. The Vietnamese Quang Phuc Hoi was involved in the planning together with organizing French resistance. This led to the capturing of Phan Boi Chau who was the leader of the movement in 1925. He was placed under house arrest. Later, in 1927, Vietnamese Quoc Dan Dang was formed. Th
