Question

france wanted to establish its colony in vietnam why

Answer 1

France progressively carved for itself a huge colony, which would form French Indochina in 1887. France continued to rule Vietnam as a colony until France's defeat in the First Indochina War and the proclamation of Vietnam's independence in 1954.

Answer 2

The main aim of France, in colonising Vietnam was to exploit it for economic gains. At that time, France had a huge demand for labour, resources and raw materials. It saw in Vietnam, an opportunity to get all three easily, through colonisation.
