In 1407, under the pretext of helping to restore the Trần monarchs, Chinese [[Ming dynasty|Ming]] troops [[Ming–Hồ War|invaded Đại Ngu]] and captured [[Hồ Quý Ly]] and [[Hồ Hán Thương]].{{sfn|Walker|2012|p=258}} The [[Hồ dynasty|Hồ family]] came to an end after only 7 years in power. The Ming occupying force annexed Đại Ngu into the Ming Empire after claiming that there was no heir to the Trần throne. Vietnam, weakened by dynastic feuds and the wars with Champa, quickly succumbed. The Ming conquest was harsh.

Almost immediately, [[Later Trần dynasty|Trần loyalists started a resistance war]]. The resistance, under the leadership of [[Trùng Quang Đế|Trần Quý Khoáng]] at first gained some advances, yet as Trần Quý Khoáng executed two top commanders out of suspicion, a rift widened within his ranks and resulted in his defeat in 1413.<ref name="MS321">{{Cite web|url=https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/%E6%98%8E%E5%8F%B2/%E5%8D%B7321|title=明史/卷321 - 维基文库，自由的图书馆|website=zh.wikisource.org}}</ref>
