During the period from 1857 to 1954, Vietnam was primarily ruled by France. The French colonization began with the establishment of protectorates in the 1880s, leading to the incorporation of Vietnam into French Indochina. While there were brief periods of Japanese occupation during World War II (1940-1945), the overall colonial rule was predominantly French until the First Indochina War culminated in 1954.
