During the period of French colonial domination, Quang Tri Citadel served as the nerve center of the local and provincial governance apparatus. Quang Tri Ancient Citadel was chosen by the French army as one of the important bases of the military station system. France built an additional prison system, expanded and solidified the prison to serve as a place to detain patriots and revolutionary soldiers in the province and region.

At the end of the 19th century, Vietnam's feudal society became more and more chaotic, with internal conflicts in Cochinchina and internal jealousy, and French colonialism trying to encroach on Cochinchina. Faced with the power of colonialism with capitalist production methods, the Nguyen feudal court continuously had to sign surrender treaties with France.
