In 1903, Hanoi was struck with Bubonic plague

In many colonial countries, the measures to control the spread of this diseases resulted in conflicts

The French part of Hanoi was well built with wide avenues and had well laid sewage system

These facilities were deprived in native parts of HanoiIn this part of the city, the sewer matter were drained into the river which over flooded the streets causing worst conditions of hygiene

The good aim of the French was in turn became the cause for breeding of rats which moved about freely in any part of the city

From this we can understand that though French colonial attitude towards hygiene and health was towards improvising their control of country it turned futile and caused only diseases in the country
