The 1933 reforms of the government of the Nguyễn dynasty, also known as the Palace Revolution, were government reforms enacted by the Bảo Đại Emperor after his return to Đại Nam from France. After his return, he initially reformed the traditional customs of the court before changing the Seven Ministries of the Southern Court into 6 new French-style ministries.
