Question

what was the role of the teachers group in the development of anti colonial feeling in Vietnam

Answer 1

answer 1- Religion played an important role in the development of anti-colonial feeling  -

1. The French introduced Christianity in Vietnam in order to extend its cultural and social domination in Vietnam. They encouraged conversions.

2. This was seen as an interference in the religious beliefs of the Vietnamese. This helped to unite them against a common cause and instilled a sense of nationalism.

3. Popular uprisings took place in Ngu An and Hai Tien provinces and thousands of Catholics were killed.

4. The Hoa Hao movement founded by Huynh Phu So was an anti-colonial religious movement.

The religious movements strengthened the anti-imperialist struggle and united the people against the colonists.

answer 2- Religion played an important role in the strengthening of colonial rule and development of anti-colonial feeling and uniting Vietnamese against colonial control.

Vietnam's religious beliefs were a mixture of Buddhism, Confucianism, and local practices.

Religion formed an integral part of the social and cultural life of the Vietnamese people.

Introducing Christianity was intolerant of the easy-going attitude and Vietnamese reverence of the supernatural. Through Christianity, the French tried to exercise control over the religious life of the Vietnamese.

This brought the Vietnamese into conflict with the French. Though the French were successful in crushing the Scholars Revolt, the Hoa Hao Movement became popular. Through this movement, Huynh Phu So tried to address many social evils but the French declared him mad and exiled him to Laos.

Though the popular struggles put down by the French they served as inspiration for the Patriots.
