The French no longer have colonies in southeast Asia. At one time, before WW2 and the Japanese pushed them out, they had colonies in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. When they attempted to reestablish them at the end of the war, they were again sent packing and left the US holding the bag, hence a couple decades of the Vietnam conflict.
