## History

[edit]

Bắc Kạn (chữ nôm: 北𣴓) was established as a fort in 1880 for troops of the Nguyễn government during the 1878 revolt of Li Yung Choï (Vietnamese: Lý Dương Tài) coincident with the Black Flag Army. Following Li's capture and decapitation, the remains of his group reformed under Liu Zhiping (Vietnamese: Lục Chi Bình) and with 5,000 men attacked the fort defended by 300 Annamite soldiers in 1881.[3][4]

The town of Bắc Kạn was one of the early headquarters of the Việt Minh in the war against the French. Jean-Étienne Valluy aimed to surround the area and capture the town in Operation Léa between 7 October and 22 December 1947.[5] A parachute drop caught the Việt Minh by surprise and seized letters left on the desk of Ho Chi Minh.[6] Both Ho and Võ Nguyên Giáp escaped only by hiding in camouflaged holes nearby.[6] It was also an area of fighting between the communists and Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng armed forces.[7]
