The mission civilisatrice (in English "civilizing mission") was a rationale for intervention or colonization, purporting to contribute to the spread of civilization, and used mostly in relation to the Westernization of indigenous peoples in the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

●the civilising mission( of french in Vietnam)..
the french although had taken control over vietnam in their military and economic spheres of life, they were also greatly keen in reshaping the cultural area of the vietnamese:, simply because they tought it was the curtosy of the 'advanced ' western countries to civilize the other countries, even if that meant a total degradation of the value systems and hence in the strong roots of that country(in this case - Vietnam).
●the french started off by developing the fertile mekong delta,by building canals and drainlands . witj the introduction of the railway, the production shot upto 2.2 million hecters in 1930, and by 1931, vietnam became the third largest producer of rice the world .
the french also considered educating the vietnamese in french, but there were two broad opinions in this.
•one set of people demanded that French be the medium of instruction. this would result in an asiatic France society solidly tied to Europian france.
•another group of people appered to the fact that the vietnamese be thought vietnamese in the lower classes and french in the upper classes. the few who mastered the language be rewarded french citizenship.
●the french also ruled over the looks of the vietnamese. the tonkin free schhol is a clear example depicting how the french instructed the vietnamese that learning science is not as important as dressing good.
●the vietnamese were tangled up in a cobweb,as they had lost their identity as one. out of the few thousand students, only about 400 passed the exam. they were educated that they were not capable of performing intellectual activity, but only do manual labour,abd that thay were skilled copiests.
hope this helped you
thanks...
