Biography

During the years 1778–1788, Nguyễn Nhạc was proclaimed Emperor Thái Đức (泰德帝). Since 1788, after his younger brother became Emperor Quang Trung, he resigned his Emperor title and claimed himself as King Tây Sơn. Since 1789, he was proclaimed the King of Tây Sơn. Nguyễn Nhạc and his brothers, namely Nguyễn Lữ and Nguyễn Huệ, known as the Tây Sơn Brothers, are the leaders of the Tây Sơn uprising that ended the long civil war between the two feudal groups, Trịnh Lords in the Northern Annam and the Nguyễn Lords in the Southern Annam, seizing reigning power from these groups and the Lê dynasty.[1]
