China always had a strange fascination with conquering present day Vietnam, and that goes all the way back to Emperor Wu here. He, like many of his successors, failed to do so. There is a valley in Northern Vietnam that has seen a volume of combat that rivals Meggido, Syria for the most contested spot on Earth. Most recently, a large Chinese invasion was ignominiously repelled after some initial gains in 1979. Despite being outnumbered nearly 3 to 1, the Vietnamese gave the ChiComs all they could handle.
