The narrative delves into the 1800s conflict involving China, Vietnam, and France, highlighting the unexpected intervention of the Black Flags, a group of Chinese freebooters. Initially, it appeared that China could not shield Vietnam from French colonial ambitions. However, the Black Flags, seeking plunder, successfully thwarted two French expeditions, igniting a broader conflict. This exploration reveals the complexities of colonialism and the interplay of regional powers during a tumultuous period in Southeast Asian history.
