| Summary: | This article aims to elucidate the history of interactions between Viet Nam and the Malay
Archipelago’s kingdoms during the Tay Son brothers’ insurrection, with a particular emphasis on
how foreign relations were linked. The study also discusses the reasons for Viet Nam’s selection
of the Malay Archipelago, despite the fact that Viet Nam maintained a closed-door policy with
the outside world in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This study is significant because it
demonstrates the contact and connectivity between Viet Nam and the Archipelago in the early
17th century. This is because the Vietnamese have always regarded the Malay realm as a region
rich in natural riches and jewels. The study employs a quantitative method to undertake a content
analysis of texts, particularly original sources such as Nguyen Dynasty (Vietnam) and Qing
Dynasty (China) palace documents gathered from Vietnamese and Chinese archives. The study
indicated that the Malay Archipelago became the sole destination specifically mentioned by the
Vietnamese people as a place of sanctuary and a place to seek assistance during their country’s
economic collapse and political degradation. |
