1. The French War (1st IndoChina War) created two separate countries; N & S Vietnam.

2. The French War (1st Indo-China War) gave Ho Chi Minh and General Giap extensive combat experience, for their next war...against the US.

3. The French riverine forces from the 1st Indo-China War gave their experiences to the US Navy when the USN created their "Riverine Forces" (Brown Water Navy). As one example, the French designed and built RAG boat (River Assault Boat) was used as an inspiration for the US Navy to build the only purpose built (designed specifically for Vietnam) river assault boat during the war; the Alpha Boat (ASPB-Assault Support Patrol Boat) an all steel constructed riverine destroyer built in Oregon USA.
