Question

How were the viatnamis
Used by french during the epidemic of plegue 93

Answer 1

The french organized a rat hunt in order to cure the bubonic plague..

1. The vietnamis were engaged in a bounty hunt wherein a specific amount of money was awarded to persons who would bring in a dead rat..

2. As a proof, the tail of the rat was to be shown.

3. Even from this, the vietnamis managed to make a profit by only clipping the tail from the rat and letting it live.. this was an example of nationalism among the vietnamis.

4. Some people even began breeding rats specifically for this purpose.

5. The french ultimately had to withdraw this plan as they were losing the money but the number of rats was ever increasing
