Hue

Name of a color.

Hue

 

a city in Vietnam, near the coast of the South China Sea. Capital of ThuaThien Province. Population, 209,000 (1973). An important transportation junction, Hue is served by the Trans-Vietnam Railroad and a major highway. The city produces rice, lumber, textiles, and building materials.

In the third century B.C. the settlement of Nhatnam was founded on the site of modern Hue; it later became a district capital of the ancient Vietnamese state of Nam Viet. In the late eighth century the city that grew from Nhatnam became part of Champa; it was incorporated into the Vietnamese state in 1471. In the 16th century the Nguyen feudal dynasty made Hue, at that time called Fu Xuan (City of Spring), the capital of its domains. In 1786, during the Tay Son peasant uprising (1771–1802), the city fell into the hands of the rebels. In 1804 it became the capital of Vietnam and was renamed Hue, which means peace or concord. After a French protectorate was established over Vietnam in 1884, the city remained the residence of the Vietnamese (An-namese) emperors.

Hue was occupied by the Japanese militarists from 1940 to 1945. On Aug. 23, 1945, during the August Revolution of 1945 in Vietnam, power passed to the people. On Aug. 25, 1945, Bao Dai, the last Annamese emperor, abdicated. Hue was occupied by a French expeditionary corps in February 1947. Beginning in 1949 the city was ruled by a series of puppet regimes, first that of Bao Dai and later those installed by the Americans. The Union of National Democratic and Peace-Loving Forces, a local organization established in Hue in February 1968, supported the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam. Hue was liberated on Mar. 27, 1975, by the People’s Armed Forces for the Liberation of South Vietnam.
