11. Summary of the new findings of the thesis:
Based on a variety of historial materials including Western maps and documents in the 17th - 18th centuries (Dutch, English, French, Italian and Portuguese materials), Vietnamese historical sources (maps, annals, monographies, land records, inscriptions, family records, folklore) in Han Nom characters or translated into Vietnamese, using the geo - historical/cultural approach method, this dissertation leads to the mains conclusions as follows:
Firstly, Vietnam during 17th and 18th centuries had witnessed the making of a system of three port cities (Thang Long - Pho Hien - Domea) along the Tonkin River in North Vietnam. “Song Dang Ngoai” (Tonkin River) was named by the Westerners to indicate a compound of Hong river - Luoc river and Thai Binh downstream rivers, which connected Thang Long - Ke Cho with the East Sea. This system became a key water route connecting Bac Bo with the East Sea in the Age of Commerce in Asia during 16th - 18th centuries. The formation of this port-city system was a result of political, social, economic factors as well as the characteristics of natural geography of the Tonkin delta during 16th - 18th centuries.
