Dublin Core
Title
French Indochina
Description
Indochina, or French Indochina, was the name for the body of French colonies, including the three countries Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Vietnam's territory was divided into three parts: Tonkin (modern Northern Vietnam), Annam (modern Central Vietnam), and Cochinchina (modern Southern Vietnam).
French Indochina as an entity gradually disintegrated around 1949–1950, as the French wanted to recognize them as independent components of the French Union, no longer as colonies. But it was only after the Geneva Conference in 1954, which ended the First Indochina War between France and Viet Minh, that the French occupation of the region ended.
