The French have traditionally taken great pride in what they called their 'civilization Francais.' This
included the language, religion, literature, poetry and music of France, as well as its culture, laws, form of
government, educational system, and technological achievements. One of the reasons the French gave for
expanding their colonial empire throughout the world was to spread this civilization to "inferior" native
peoples.
For the Vietnamese, spreading French civilization meant making them into Frenchmen. The French
taught the Vietnamese to speak their language. French priests converted the Vietnamese to Catholicism.
French teachers educated Vietnamese in French history, literature, and law. The Vietnamese were also
taught math, science, and engineering in special private schools attended by 20 percent of Vietnamese
boys. This prepared the smartest young Vietnamese, if their parents could afford it, to attend the French
colleges in Indochina or a university in France. In their new schools Vietnamese students took the same
courses in French history and literature that were taught in France.
