What country controlled Vietnam until the late 1950's?
France took over Vietnam 1895 and lost control to Germany when France was invaded by Germany in WWII. Germany then transferred control of Vietnam to Japan, their ally at the time. Even though Japan ruled Vietnam, French colonial rulers kept their power and were overseen by the Japanese. The Japanese did not have nearly enough manpower to rule Vietnam. When Japan surrendered in 1945, French colonial rulers attempted a rebellion against the Japanese, but were crushed. Many of the French fled or were imprisoned. The Japanese rule was very weak and was taken over by the Viet Minh (Vietnamese nationalist group) in the same year. The French wanted to retake control of Vietnam and started negotiations with the Viet Minh. All talks failed and war was declared the following year. This war is famously known as The First Indochina War. After many years the French lost and Vietnam was independent. Vietnam's rulers: 1895-1940 France, 1940-1945 Japan, 1945-1954 Vietnam independent, but warring with French over control.
