Why was a conflict started in vietnam against french colonialism in all areas of life?
Answers
The conflict was started in Vietnam against the French colonizers due to the following reasons:
The French in order to civilize the natives, introduced modern education and dismantled the traditional education system in Vietnam. They followed the policy of discrimination against the Vietnamese students, of deliberately failing students. The education system glorified French rule.
V ietnam's religious beliefs were a mixture of Buddhism, Confucianism. French introduced Christianity against their interest which resulted in the Hoa Hao Movement in 1939.
The F r ench text books glorified french rule and ridiculed Vietnamese culture.
French tried to create modern Vietnam with modern architecture and engineering skills to build a modern city in Hanoi but the native quarter was not provided with modern facilities.
In the first decade of the 20th century, a go east movement became popular. in 1907-1908 some 300 students went to japan to acquire modern education. for many of them the primary objective was to drive out the french from Vietnam, overthrow the puppet emperor and re-establish the nguyen dynasty that had been deposed by the French.
