TIL that after defeating the Manchu Qing army at the Battle of Ngọc Hồi-Đống Đa, the Vietnamese King Quang Trung ordered the bodies of the enemies to be collected and put into 12 massive burial mounds. These would later be named Đống Đa Mound, and still exists today as a historic landmark in Vietnam
