In 1887, France created the Indochinese Union (French Indochina) out of her
colonies and protectorates in South East Asia, viz. French Cochinchina (since 1863),
Cambodia (since 1863), French Annam (since 1885),
French Tonkin (since 1885).
Laos was to join in 1893, Gwangzhouwan
(alternative spellings Kouang Tcheou Wan, Kwangchowan, a port located in the Chinese province of
Guangdong) was associated 1898-1946. From 1940 to 1944 the area was only nominally under French rule; Japan exercised real control, from 1944 to 1945 also in its own name. Following the Japanese surrender the campaign of regional Communist organizations for independence began. French control of the major cities was restored by 1946-1947. French Tonkin, French Annam and French Cochinchina were united to form Vietnam (either as the Democratic Republic of Vietnam 1945-1954 as the Viet Minh wanted to have it, or as the Associated State of Vietnam under Emperor Bao Dai, which the French supported). The crushing defeat in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu 1954 caused France to withdraw from Indochina. French Indochina was partitioned in the Kingdoms of Cambodia, Laos, the Empire of (South) Vietnam (monarchy abolished in 1955) and the Democratic Republic of (North) Vietnam.
