Morocco and indochina
France's involvement in the Vietnam War stemmed from its desire to reestablish colonial control over Indochina after World War II. Following Japan's occupation during the war, the Vietnamese nationalist movement, led by the Viet Minh under Ho Chi Minh, sought independence. France's attempt to regain its former colonies led to the First Indochina War (1946-1954), which ultimately set the stage for increased conflict and U.S. involvement in the region, culminating in the Vietnam War. The struggle was rooted in the broader context of decolonization and Cold War tensions.

Vietnam wasn't a country during or before World War II. That region of the world was known as French Indochina. Tonkin came under the control of France at the end of the Sino-French War in 1885. French Indochina was formed by the combination of the French Protectorate of Annam, the French controlled region of Tonkin, and the colony of Cochinchina in the south finally in 1887. French Indochina comprised all of modern day Vietnam, and large parts of Laos, Cambodia, and Guangzhouwan (small portion of southern China).With the fall of France to Nazi Germany in the opening days of WWII, French control over the region began slipping when the puppet Vichy gave access to Tonkin to the Japanese in 1940. The Japanese used the opportunity to gain control over all of French Indochina, and remained in control until Japan surrendered to the US in August 1945.

No. France is an independent country.
France took control of Vietnam in response to the growing influence of Britain and the for in movement in Burma during the 19th century. The French aimed to expand their colonial presence in Southeast Asia and counter British expansionism, leading to the establishment of French Indochina. This move was part of a broader trend of European powers competing for control over territories in Asia during the colonial era.
