In Vietnam, the civilization of the ancients was called "Champa". We know very little of its ancient history, but by about 400 A.D, Champa were united under the rule of a King called Bhadravarman. In about 446 A.D, - in retaliation for Cham raids on their coast - the Chinese invaded Champa, bringing down Bhadravarman, and placing the region under Chinese suzerainty.
