It may seem that, due to the way the Vietnam War is portrayed, France only entered Vietnam in the 1940s. In reality, she had held Vietnam at least since 1887. There isn't really a definite date. Essentially, she took Vietnam for the same reason other nations were taking colonies and building empires in the 1800s and earlier - it gave her more power, provided her with more raw materials, and helped her economically. Besides Vietnam, France also held Laos and Cambodia - she named this little patch of her Empire 'Indochina'.

To defeat the South Vietnamese government.
Primarily that the Vietnam War was fought by WWII commanders (WWII veterans); their last war. In WWII, Japan took over a lot of Asian countries that were colonized by European counties. Vietnam was colonized by France. After the war, the French came back and they thought that it would be like it was before the war. The Vietnamese people realized that the French were vulnerable, having been beaten by the Japanese. If the Japanese could defeat the French in Vietnam, then so could the Vietnamese people.
They withdrew from South Vietnam in defeat.
