How and when did Vietnam become French speaking?

Colonization in the nineteenth century answers the "how" and "when" of Vietnam becoming French-speaking. The French arrived in southern Vietnam because of the counter-weights to British presence in East, South, and Southeast Asia and the earnings which could be had from plantation economies.
