Talk:History of East Asia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Vietnam
Since this page is a listing of countries as a part of East Asia and although Vietnam might not be geographically part of East Asia, if you refer to East Asia it does include Vietnam as a part of cultural East Asia. Also, Vietnam (Annam) was subject to invasion from the Chinese and parts of Vietnams culture is adapted from Chinese traditions, like their zodiac, capital city, and language. I would argue that Vietnam should be on this list. Tortfeasor 22:32, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I agree we can list Vietnam both in East Asia and Southeast Asia on many topics, just for reference purpose. User:163.28.64.50 ,
I agree that Vietnam should be on the list. If you can put part of Russia, (which is northeast Asia) on that list, Vietnam should be there too. The history of Vietnam is strongly linked with the other east asian nations, especially china. User: Tridungvo
