Discover how a small Vietnamese kingdom defeated the mighty Mongol Empire not once, but three times in the 13th century. This documentary explores the epic clash between Kublai Khan's seemingly unstoppable forces and the brilliant defensive strategies of Vietnamese commander Trần Hưng Đạo.

Through detailed battle maps and historical analysis, witness how the Vietnamese used their intimate knowledge of jungle terrain, innovative naval tactics, and fierce determination to repel massive invasions in 1258, 1285, and 1288.

The final showdown at the Battle of Bạch Đằng River, where clever use of wooden stakes and tidal patterns destroyed the Mongol fleet, stands as one of history's greatest military upsets. This remarkable David-versus-Goliath story demonstrates how the Vietnamese Dragon of the South permanently halted the ambitions of the Mongol Khan through superior strategy, clever use of terrain, and unwavering resolve.
