At the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. That was the last battle (and the last straw for France). NVA General Giap was the Communist commander who defeated the French at Dien Bien Phu; and was the same NVA commander who surrounded the US Marines at Khe Sanh in 1968. That's what concerned President Johnson, when he stated, (in his Texas drawl) "...I'll not have any darn Den Ben Foo's!"

Who resisted the french and Japanese in Vietnam?
The Chinese had control over Vietnam, but in 939, they left and an independent Vietnam was created. In 1407, the Chinese regained control of the area. In 1427, the Chinese were driven out and another Vietnam nation was established. In 1861, the French seized control of Saigon and the rest of the south by 1867. They took control of the north by 1883. In 1940-41, the Japanese advanced into and took control of Northern and Southern French Indo-China, as France had been defeated by Germany at that time. It was during this period, that the Allies defeated Japan in WWII. The British and Chinese accepted the surrender of the Japanese in Vietnam and the French re-entered the area and took over control again. Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese Communist, returned to Vietnam from China and headed a Revolutionary League to regain independence for Vietnam. In 1945, he proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. On December 19, 1946, Vietminh forces attacked the French in Hanoi and the Indochina War--also known as the Vietminh War--began.
