Like most fads, nations that had battleships and colonies drew respect from surrounding nations. The bigger the battleships and the more widespread the colonies, the more powerful you were. France was amongst the competitors of the 17th, 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.

French Indochina is actually three different countries today: Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. It is also worth noting that some small parts (less than 1%) of current Thailand and China were part of Indochina.

The US was first active in French Indochina during World War II (in the Pacific from 1941 to 1945). The French lost their war to keep Vietnam in 1954, and the country was divided between northern and southern factions.

The US became increasing involved with the southern half (South Vietnam) during the Cold War, during which the North followed mainland China into Communism and then became a client state of the Soviet Union.

Improvements:

There's no word pronounced "as a question". It is only a tone, noted with the hook diacritic which looks like a tiny question mark (?) without the dot underneath.

"Cảm ơn" or "cám ơn" is the shortest expression, they have the same meaning: "Thanks". "Cảm ơn" is more common and appears more polite. They are variants of word, similar to "yes" and "yeah".

"Thank you" = "Cảm ơn"/"Cám ơn" + pronoun. There are various pronouns in Vietnamese for "you".

The Chinese had control over Vietnam, but in 939, they left and an independent Vietnam was created. In 1407, the Chinese regained control of the area. In 1427, the Chinese were driven out and another Vietnam nation was established. In 1861, the French seized control of Saigon and the rest of the south by 1867. They took control of the north by 1883. In 1940-41, the Japanese advanced into and took control of Northern and Southern French Indo-China, as France had been defeated by Germany at that time. It was during this period, that Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese Communist, returned to Vietnam from China and headed a Revolutionary League to regain independence for Vietnam. In 1945, he proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. When the Allies defeated Japan in WWII, the British and Chinese accepted the surrender of the Japanese in Vietnam and the French re-entered the area and took over control again. On December 19, 1946, Vietminh forces attacked the French in Hanoi and the Indochina War--also known as the Vietminh War--began. In 1954, the Vietminh defeated the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and the nation was temporarily divided into two sections, north and south. The people of the south chose Ngo Dinh Diem as their ruler and Ho continued to rule the north. Diem refused to go along with the planned elections in 1956 to unite the nation, because he knew he would lose, so the Vietminh members in the south created the Viet Cong and the war between north and south for control of the country began.

I lived in Vietnam but I only know a little. There are the common house geckos which are EVERYWHERE. In the forests, there are spitting cobras. In bushes are many praying mantises. In the trees, there are large cicadas. There are also crazy amounts of mosquitoes everywhere. At night, they're even in the house! Sometimes in the forest, there are even tigers. There is also the salt water crocodile. There are pot-bellied pigs, pheasants, and reticulated pythons. And by forests I mean jungles. :D

A US dollar is worth roughly about 13000-15000 dong in Vietnam. If you go to a transfer station, the more mint the bill is the better. Don't get excited if you think 15000 is a ton of money. It's not. However you can buy a lot more with a US $20 there then here.

If you're referring to the Vietnam War, then the war was mainly fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was communist, and was supported by the Soviet Union, China, and Cuba. South Vietnam was capitalist, and was supported by the United States, Australia, the Philippines, and South Korea.

Vietnam was also invaded and conquered, then colonized, by France in the 1800s.

A cross corresponding to a name on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall means that the person with that name is missing; to say, the body has not been found. A diamond next to a name on the wall stands for a person who has been proven dead; the body (or the remains of the body) has been found dead.

Since that term is not commonly used; it's probably more accurate to state, that Vietnam is not a world power.

A design competition consisting of about 1,400 entries was initiated along with donations of approximately $5,000,000. An architectural student from Yale University won the competition and designed a wall made of black granite which rose from the ground and then back into it; engraved upon it are the names over 58,000 US servicemen and 8 women, who died in Vietnam.
