French Indochina was composed of what is now Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, as well as parts of Thailand.
France, when it took over Indochina, was one of many massive colonial powers. Simply sending their navy and army on boats around the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean could subjugate the warring tribes. Then, they set up French cities there. They held the colony until the 1950s, when rebellions against the French made it impossible to maintain foreign control.
Next to Great Britain, France had the largest overseas colony empire. This included what is now Vietnam. By 1955, France saw its grip beginning to slip and anti-French sentiment rose. The dissent resulted in two Vietnams. North & South, one was communist the other a shell of a free government.
