Colonial Domination and Resistance

Colonial Domination and Resistance: The colonisation of Vietnam by the French brought the people of the country into conflict with the colonisers. The most visible form of French control was military and economic domination. But the French also tried to reshape the culture of the Vietnamese.

Nationalism in Vietnam emerged through the efforts of different sections of society to fight against the French domination. French troops landed in Vietnam in 1858 and by the mid- 1880s, they had established their control over the Northern region. In the following decades, the French sought to consolidate their position and nationalist resistance developed in French Indo-China region. People in Vietnam began their own suffering.
