Scholars Revolt

Scholars Revolt: Christianity, introduced by French missionaries was intolerant to the Viemamese religious practices and tried to change them. From the 18th century, many religious movements started against the spread of Catholicism. Such a movement was the Scholars Revolt in 1868. This revolt was led by officials at the imperial court angered by the spread of Catholicism and French power. They led a general uprising in Ngu An and Ha Tien provinces where over a thousand Catholics were killed. But the French crushed the movement and this uprising served to inspire other patriots to rise up against them.
