Trained in military skills by his father, Phan Chau Trinh fought in 1885 against French forces that were searching for the fugitive rebel king ham nagi , the symbol of the resistance. In an encounter with the French, his father was killed, possibly by a member of a nationalist-royalist organization who thought him a traitor. Thereafter, Trinh would not associate with any plans to oppose the French that involved a monarchist symbol.
Phan Chu Trinh (1871-1926) was intensely hostile to the monarchy and opposed to the idea of resisting the French with the help of court. His desire was to establish a democratic republic.
