Vietnam was part of the southeast Asian colony of French Indochina, and was therefore ruled by the French before North Vietnam and the State sf Vietnam were granted independence.

In the 17th Century, French missionaries arrived in Vietnam. The Catholic priests received a friendly welcome from the Vietnamese people and they were allowed to live and work in the country. However, the Vietnamese authorities became concerned when the missionaries began to recruit the local people to Roman Catholicism. The converted Catholics were told to abandon their religious customs including that of taking several wives. The missionaries also instructed their followers to give their loyalty to God rather than to their Emperor. Hostility towards the Christian missionaries grew and over the years there were several cases of priests being murdered.
I believe it was because, the French were defeated by the Viet Minh rebels, which marked the end of French involvement in Vietnam. The Vietminh defeated the French and ended colonial rule.
Before World War II, Vietnam was under French colonial rule as part of French Indochina, which included Laos and Cambodia. The French established control over Vietnam in the mid-19th century, exploiting its resources and implementing a system of colonial administration. This period was marked by significant resistance from the Vietnamese people, leading to various uprisings against French authority. The colonial rule persisted until the Japanese occupation during World War II.
The French were a foreign power occupying Vietnam. The Vietnamese wanted their independence.
The resistance to French colonization and oppression in Vietnam in the twentieth century was primarily led by Ho Chi Minh. He was a key figure in the founding of the Viet Minh, a nationalist and communist movement that sought independence for Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh's leadership galvanized support against French colonial rule and later against American involvement in Vietnam, ultimately leading to the establishment of a communist government in North Vietnam. His commitment to national liberation and social reform made him a central figure in Vietnam's struggle for independence.
The leader of North Vietnam was Ho Chi Minh, who played a crucial role in the country's struggle for independence from French colonial rule and later against South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. He served as the Prime Minister from 1945 to 1969 and was the President from 1945 until his death in 1969. Ho Chi Minh was a key figure in the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and is celebrated as a national hero in Vietnam.

No, it got lower.
The Battle of Dien Bien Phu, fought between March and May 1954, marked the end of French colonial rule in Vietnam. The Viet Minh, led by General Vo Nguyen Giap, decisively defeated French forces, leading to the Geneva Accords, which resulted in the division of Vietnam into North and South. This battle significantly shifted the balance of power in the region and paved the way for the later conflict involving the United States.
Vietnam's violent revolution against French colonial rule inspired Algerian groups to launch their own anti-colonial rebellion.

De Facto rule ended in 1954. De Jure rule ended in 1962.

Vietnam didn't exist until 1975. That is incorrect Vietnam was first mapped and included in a empire in 1069-1759 until it went under French rule. Vietnam became independent on September 2, 1945.
The French withdrawal from Indochina in the 1950s culminated in the First Indochina War, which ended with the decisive Battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 1954. Following their defeat, the French negotiated the Geneva Accords, which led to the partition of Vietnam into North and South at the 17th parallel. This marked the end of French colonial rule in Indochina, paving the way for increased American involvement in the region and the eventual escalation of the Vietnam War.
There were several differences, but the clearest is that French colonial rule was direct from the Paris while British colonial rule preferred to leave amenable local leaders in charge.
