Malaysia-Vietnam Relations from the 15th to 19th Century

LITERATURE AND SOURCES

Abstract

This paper attempts to analyse the historical development of the Malaysia-Vietnam relationship from the 15th to the 19th century with reference to the works of researchers in Malaysia. This particular period was chosen for review as the Southeast Asian at this time was the theatre of radical unrest following the growth of capitalist trade which sparked an influx of Europeans to this part of the world. By providing the background and a general overview of the research done on the history of Malaysia-Vietnam relations, it is hoped that this study can serve as a platform for other researchers to further explore this relationship.
