Question

Why the french needed to colonize the Vietnam???
how do they do it??? Please clear me........

Answer 1

The French colonised Vietnam (and Indochina) for two important reasons.

❤️ First, they wanted to get a toe-hold into China, after losing India to British colonisers. India would become the jewel of the crown for the British imperialist empire, and a source of tea and opium. Indochina would become the pearl of the French Empire, providing rice, rubber, and opium.

❤️ Secondly, the French wanted to revive their sagging military reputation after losing the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. They did so at the expense of the weaker peoples and nations in South East Asia, with a series of military campaigns, occupations, diplomacy, and the threat of military force.
