= COLONIZATION- = = French Indochina was formed in October 1887. Indochina was part of the French colonial empire in southeast Asia. A federation of the three vietnam regions, Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina, as well as Cambodia which was formed in 1887. Laos was added in 1893. France obtained control over northern Vietnam following its victory over China in the Sino-French War. The capital was moved from Saigon (in Cochinchina) to Hanoi (Tonkin) in 1902. During World War II, the colony was administered by Vichy France and was under Japanese occupation. Beginning in May 1941, the Viet Minh, a communist army led by Ho Chi Minh, began a revolt against French rule known as the First Indochina War. In Saigon, the anti-Communist State of Vietnam, led by former Emperor Bao Dai, was granted independence in 1949. Following the Geneva Accord of 1954, the Viet Minh became the government of North Vietnam although the Bao Dại government continued to rule in the South. The colonial administration of Annam was dissolved in 1955 and the region was split between North and South, as provided for in the Geneva Accord. = =

= INFO- = = It lies roughly east of India and south of China. Formed in 1887, its capital city is Hanoi, but this french indochina federation of countries only lasted into the mid-1950's. In Indochina, Vietnam has the largest population of 85,262,356. They have many different religions, and the most common is Buddhism with about 85%. Others include Christian Catholicism,Christian Protestantism, and the Dao (Tao) religion which has some supporters. Again, here, as in China, Buddhism and Daoism are very similar and sometimes you can't be sure what kind of temple you are visiting.
