Argumentatively, Vietnam never gained any independence from China. China always controlled Vietnam, that's why it was called IndoCHINA. France fought China and won Vietnam in the 1860s. So, again, argumentatively, Vietnam never was an independent nation until April 30, 1975. 1. Prior to 30 April 1975, there were TWO Vietnams, not one. 2. From 1946-1954 Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia were in transition (changing); a colony of France but not a colony of France...as they were in limbo; fighting. 3. From 1940-1945 under Japanese rule.
President - Chiang Kai-Shek, President of the Republic of China (1950-1975)
Laos declared independance from France in 1949, but it wasn't fully recognized. They were fully independent when the rest of Indo-China was in 1954. The Pathet Lao (communists) took control of the country in 1975 to the present.
Super Typhoon Nina occurred in China in August 1975. Nina brought devastating impacts to southern China, particularly Guangdong Province, causing widespread damage and loss of life.
