The Eleventh Nagarcamese-Quenminese War, also called the Eleventh Nagarcam-Đại Quến War, the Second Trịnh-Nagarcam War and the Pacification of Nagarcam, was the final major conflict between a Quenminese dynasty and the tributary kingdom of Nagarcam. In a last attempt for the latter realm become independent due to the unfair economic policies and tributary taxes that were imposed by Emperor Xương Thắng, the penultimate king, Jaya Vikrantavarman V, commenced holy war throughout the Dynasty's southern territories with support of the Adamdar Empire. The Emperor then issued an edict calling for the pacification of the kingdom and bestowed his Grand Chancellor Nguyễn Ngọc Quyết the power and means to oversee the conflict's tide to the Dynasty's favor. After over three years, the Dynasty achieved a decisive victory, which necessitated them to depose the last king Bhasadharmavarman IX and integrate Nagarcam into another province.

The conflict saw a combination in the use of traditional weapons and the growing prominence of western weapons and material, such as the musket. Both sides were inclined to adapt and utilize the latter in order to compete for superior firepower to consummate their goals. Furthermore, the purchase of ships from [insert Western-themed empire here] helped to augment the naval forces of the belligerents, further intensifying the need of superior force.

In the aftermath of the war, the Dynasty imposed a significant and repressive Quenicization policy among the Nagarcamese populace. Justifying this resolve as a punishment for extreme insubordination, the Dynasty often enacted measures of coercion and brutality against the Nagarcamese, especially ones that targeted their cultural values and traditions. This would eventually lead to a final and quelled attempt by the Nagarcamese to reestablish their independence in the Rebellion of Chhet Sorya. Eventually, the Nagarcamese were fully assimilated, although some of their traditions have been revitalized to this day. This war was considered by Quenminese and Nagarcamese historians to have been the fateful indication of Nagarcam's inability to obtain and preserve its independence.

Aftermath

Acculturation of the Nagarcamese

Following the annexation of the kingdom, the Dynasty was prepared to assimilate the Nagarcamese into Quenminese society as a consequence. Before implementing a edict to put this acculturation into effect, Xương Thắng was said to have wrote this statement into his law:

The very hope of this dynasty at this moment in history is that the Nagarcamese people will be able to neglect their barbaric habits and insubordinate demeanor by taking on Quenminese customs

Atrocities were committed against the Nagarcam after the war's end. One notable instance was their forceful feeding of pork by Quenminese soldiers.
