The French fought in Indochina primarily to maintain their colonial control over the region, which included Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. After World War II, nationalist movements gained momentum, leading to a struggle for independence. The French aimed to reassert their dominance, but faced increasing resistance from the Viet Minh and other nationalist groups, ultimately culminating in the First Indochina War. The conflict highlighted the challenges of colonialism and set the stage for Vietnam's eventual fight for independence.
