They were removed in 1945 after Japan's surrender in WWii. Well.... A reasonably good explanation of this disaster is: http://www.ichiban1.org/html/history/bc_1964_prewar/world_war_ii_1941_1945.htm After WWII the Nazi (Vichy) French fled to French Indochina. The Japanese (fellow Axis fascist) had been asked to take over power by the French Vichy government in 1940. Ho Chi Minh was the good guy in Vietnamese independence until the US decided to support the French Vichy colonialists and the Japanese to keep their foothold in Vietnam. What a nightmare....
