Tran Hung Dao (1228 – 1300) was the Vietnamese military Grand Commander of Thang Long during the Tran Dynasty.
Born as Tran Quoc Tuan, he commanded the Dai Viet armies that repelled three major Mongol invasions in the 13th century. His multiple victories over the mighty Mongol Yuan Dynasty under Kublai Khan are considered among the greatest military feats in world history.
General Tran Hung Dao's military brilliance and prowess is reflected in his many treatises on warfare and he is considered one of the most accomplished generals in history.
