The rat hunt :
In 1903, a bubonic plague struck the beautiful city of Hanoi.
It had large sewers which became a great transport system and breeding ground for rats.
The rat hunt started in 1902. The french hired vietnamese and paid them for each rat they caught.
The vietnamese found innovative ways to profit out of this situation to their favour. They cut the tails of rats and let them free. This not only allowed them to earn their bounty, but also they could claim their reward from the same rat again and again since rats tails grow after being cut.
By 30th may, 20000 rats were caught, but still there seemed no end. This way the french were defeated by the resistance and the rat menace marked the limit of french power.
hope it helps :)...... Bhai brainleist............... Jai bajarang bali
