History of the Loss of Vietnam ( Vietnamese: Việt Nam vong quốc sử, Chinese: 越南亡國史; pinyin: Yuènán Wángguó Shǐ) was a Văn ngôn book written by Phan Bội Châu, the leading Vietnamese anti-colonial revolutionary of the early 20th century, in 1905 while he was in Japan.It was published by Liang Qichao, a leading Chinese nationalist revolutionary scholar then in Japan, who assisted Phan during his time attempting to drum up support for Vietnamese independence in China. The book was intended for distribution mainly in China and abroad, but also for smuggling into Vietnam to rally people to the cause of Vietnamese independence. The book helped popularize the word "Vietnam." At the time, the country was generally called "Annam."
Although named under History, the book is rather a memoir than a regular history book, due to the author's working method - lack of reference documents then based mainly on his own memory.: 11
