Old western maps: Hoang Sa, Truong Sa belong to Vietnam
VietNamNet Bridge – Many old western maps show that Vietnam has established its sovereignty over the Truong Sa (Spratly) and Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelagos for over five centuries, said a local researcher.
A map made by Jodocus Hondius in 1613.
Tran Duc Anh Son, Deputy Director of the Danang Institute for Socio-economic Development, said he has collected 56 western maps including one made by Livro da Marinjaria FM Pinnto in 1560, one by Gerard Mercetor in the late 16th century, and another made by Stielers Handatla in 1891.
All the maps, drawn in pictographs or scripts, show that both the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa are part of Vietnam, named Cauchi, Cochi, Cochinchina, or Cochinnhine by Western countries.
In the map made by Jodocus Hondius in 1613, the Frael (Hoang Sa) archipelago includes all the islands from the Tonkin Gulf to Vietnam’s southern sea, except for Condor (Con Dao) and Pulo Cici (Phu Quoc), which were drawn separately.
In another map drawn by W. Blaeu in 1645, the Frael (Hoang Sa) archipelago is connected with Pulo Secca de Mare (Phu Quy island), Pulo Cambir (Cu Lao Xanh), and Cullo Canton (Ly Son island), creating a group of islands belonging to Dang Trong (Vietnam’s Southern region).
Especially, the caption Paracel seu Cat Vang (Paracel or Cat Vang) in a map made by Bishop Jean-Louis Taberd, which was written in Han (Chinese), Quoc Ngu (standard Vietnamese) and Latin languages, means that Hoang Sa islands belong to Vietnam.
This means, Son said, many Western cartographers, experts and discoverers have recognized the Hoang Sa archipelago as part of Vietnam, which they called Cochinchine, Cochinchina, or Annam.
These maps are precious documents which confirm Vietnam has long exercised its sovereignty over the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.

In old time there is deviation is aceptable, in any case Vietnamese drawn up the Islands closer to main land is to demostration that all the Island in East sea of Vietnam is our territory.
Look here this map made by westerner is not so correct in distance from Main land Vietnam to the Islands. But westerner understood that the Islands belong to Vietnam. Understand idiot Chinese boy ?
Danvilleen's Indochina map in 1735 also demonstrated that Paracel and Spratly Island belong to Vietnam,
This map isn't Vietnamese map.Ancient Vietnamese was idiot thief.
The map is "Dynasty Directly controled area map", 200years ago, useless, at that time Russia is still at EU, US hadn't reach west sea line; In history, VN has been a part of China four times, do you really want back as history???Chinese are idiot sea pirates. Look here, in time of Man Quing Dynasty the "full map" of China with last point is Hainan Island, who is the thief here ? China is the thief, understand ?. Idiot robber, but big mouth.
(I think you can read chinese title of the map)
