Emperor Quang Trung - Nguyen Hue and his brothers were born in the lower Tay Son region and started their career in the upper Tay Son region. Now both regions belong to the new Gia Lai province.

Before the country's decline, in 1771 he and his brothers raised the flag of uprising with the Tay Son movement, continuously achieving glorious victories.

His most famous achievement and that of the Tay Son brothers was associated with the expedition to Thang Long to defeat 290,000 Qing invaders in the spring of Ky Dau 1789 with the victory of Ngoc Hoi - Dong Da.

He and his brothers also contributed to overthrowing the ruling power of Lord Nguyen in Dang Trong and Lord Trinh in Dang Ngoai, ending the Trinh - Nguyen civil war that weakened the country for 200 years, laying the foundation for the unification of the North and South.

In addition, the Tay Son brothers also defeated the Siamese invaders in the battle of Rach Gam - Xoai Mut in 1785.

Emperor Quang Trung was hailed as a military genius, a general who won every battle. He was also an excellent politician and diplomat with skillful methods of dealing with neighboring countries.
