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.
France's involvement in the Vietnam War stemmed from its desire to reestablish colonial control over Indochina after World War II. Following Japan's occupation during the war, the Vietnamese nationalist movement, led by the Viet Minh under Ho Chi Minh, sought independence. France's attempt to regain its former colonies led to the First Indochina War (1946-1954), which ultimately set the stage for increased conflict and U.S. involvement in the region, culminating in the Vietnam War. The struggle was rooted in the broader context of decolonization and Cold War tensions.
Harry S. Truman's support for Vietnam was primarily driven by his commitment to containing communism during the early Cold War era. After World War II, he backed the French colonial efforts to regain control over Vietnam, viewing it as part of the broader strategy to prevent the spread of communist influence in Southeast Asia. Truman's administration believed that supporting France and opposing communism in Vietnam would help maintain stability in the region and uphold U.S. interests worldwide.
Just before the Vietnam Conflict, Vietnam was a colony under French rule. Before that time, China had control over much of Eastern and Southeastern Asia.
