Yeah I am well aware of that history. China is the only civilization to have constantly fallen apart and reunited. Yes, many of the former kingdoms that make up different provinces of China rebelled at one point or another. But Vietnam managed to become independent. I think it's a result of it's very Southern location and also the fact that Vietnamese are very resilient and stubborn fighters. Either way, Vietnam would've ended up as a more Southern Guangdong if it had stayed a part of China. The Cantonese are basically the Han version of the Vietnamese IMO.
