He was a high-ranking mandarin of the Nguyen Dynasty, a member of the war faction, patriotic and anti-French. After the fall of the capital Hue, Nguyen Van Tuong stayed behind to negotiate with the French to stabilize the situation. He was considered a surrenderer to the colonialists, but was eventually exiled by the French to the island of Tahiti and died there after a year of exile.
