1 The Trinh and the Nguyen were two great Vietnamese families which split Vietnam into two halves at about the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Trinh governing the northern half and the Nguyen the south. The dividing line was not far from the present frontier at the seventeenth parallel. The division persisted until the second half of the eighteenth century.
