French colonisation was not only based on economic exploitation, it was also driven by the idea of civilising mission.
2. Like the British in India, the French claimed that they were bringing modern civilization to Vietnam.
3. They took for granted that Europe had developed as the most advanced civilisation.
4. So how they thought it became their duty to introduce these modern ideas to the colony even if this meant destroying local cultures, religion and traditions because these were seen as outdated and prevented modern development.
5. Education was seen as one of the ways to civilise the natives.
