Minh Mang
1791 CE–1841 CE · Hue
Minh Mang (1791-1841) was the second emperor of Vietnam's Nguyen dynasty, reigning from 1820 to 1841. A capable and industrious ruler, he centralized the administration along Confucian lines, reorganized the provinces, expanded the examination system, and asserted Vietnamese authority over neighboring regions including parts of Cambodia. He is also remembered for his firmly anti-Western and isolationist policies, including restrictions on foreign trade and the persecution of Christian missionaries and converts, which sharpened tensions that would later contribute to French intervention.
