The Đại Việt war of 1479–1484, read from four records
Follow Đại Việt's campaign into Lan Xang and on to Nan step by step on a map, then read how the Ming court records, the Lanna chronicles, the Lao chronicles and the Đại Việt annals tell the same moment. Includes a panel of troop numbers in the records and a game: which record says this? Every step is sourced.
How to use it
Drag the time slider, use ‹ › or press ▶ to step through. In each step's card, pick a record to read one side, or All four to compare. Scroll down for the troop numbers and the which-record game.
What it teaches
The 1479–1484 war between Đại Việt, Lan Xang and Lanna, and how to read history from several records: each side tells the same events from its own angle, and chronicle numbers need care.
