Vietnam Has 2 of the 10 Greatest Generals in the World - admin - 14-08-2024
The British Encyclopedia (EB), first published from 1768-1771, has recognized General Tran Hung Dao and General Vo Nguyen Giap as two of the ten greatest generals of all time in its 15th edition reprint, titled the New British Encyclopedia (NB). This volume, contributed to by scholars from various countries, updates information on global military leaders.
The encyclopedia describes General Tran Hung Dao as an outstanding military strategist, noted for his victories over the Mongol armies, and General Vo Nguyen Giap as a key military leader in the resistance against French and American colonialism, contributing to the reunification of Vietnam.
