Frederick IV of Denmark vs Gia Long

Frederick IV joined the Great Northern War against Sweden, forming an alliance with Russia and Saxony. Denmark's early campaigns failed, leading to the Treaty of Travendal in 1700, which temporarily removed Denmark from the war.

After Sweden's defeat at Poltava, Frederick IV re-entered the Great Northern War. Danish forces invaded Scania but were repelled at the Battle of Helsingborg in 1710, failing to regain lost territories.

Frederick IV signed the Treaty of Frederiksborg ending the Great Northern War for Denmark. Denmark gained the Duchy of Schleswig but failed to recover Scania, and Sweden paid a war indemnity.

Nguyen Anh signed the Treaty of Versailles with King Louis XVI, securing French military and financial support in exchange for trade concessions and the cession of Da Nang and Poulo Condore. This treaty marked the beginning of French involvement in Vietnam.

Nguyen Anh (later Gia Long) captured Saigon from the Tay Son forces with the help of French military advisors. This victory established his base of power in the Mekong Delta region.

Nguyen Anh's forces, supported by French-built ships and artillery, defeated the Tay Son navy at Thien Mu. This naval victory allowed him to capture Hue, the Tay Son capital.

Nguyen Anh ascended the throne as Emperor Gia Long, founding the Nguyen dynasty. He unified Vietnam from the Red River Delta to the Mekong Delta, establishing the country's modern borders.

Emperor Gia Long ordered the construction of the Hue Citadel, a massive fortified palace complex modeled on the Forbidden City in Beijing. The citadel served as the imperial capital of the Nguyen dynasty until 1945.
