History
The Nguyễn Lords had established feudal rule over Viet-Nam by the 16th century, before defeating the Tây Sơn dynasty and establishing their own imperial rule in the 19th century. Throughout the first half of the 19th century, Viet-Nam enjoyed a high degree of sovereignty, and was protected by the Qing dynasty. However, after the Canton War (1850-1857) split China and weakened the Qing, Viet-Nam became exposed and vulnerable. Britain and Siamese territorial ambition had threatened Viet-Nam. As a result, King Phúc Mạnh began turned to the Spanish, based in Manila, for protection. In 1880, a Spanish protectorateship over Viet-Nam was negotiated. In 1884, Phúc Mạnh converted to Catholicism and resulted in a large portion of the rural population converting to the religion. The Spanish divided Viet-Nam into two administrative divisions, the Captaincy-Generals of Tonquin and Annam, and placed Spanish High Commissioner Iñigo García y Magrina in Huế to represent Spain. Amidst the protectorateship, the Nguyễn dynasty continued to enjoy a high degree of autonomy. Throughout 1890-1920, the Viet-Namese monarchy had made several concessions to the public as a response to calls for democratization and local representation.
During Spanish decolonization in 1929, a referendum was held in the Viet-Namese for independence. The referendum led to a mixed result; the vote for independence narrowly won. A transitionary government was established in 1930 and was given five years to prepare a constitution and government for an independent Viet-Nam. In 1934, the Viet-Nam Independence Council ratified a constitution, keeping the Viet-Namese monarchy and establishing a new Viet-Namese parliament.
