Vietnam was reunified in 1975, at the end of the Vietnam War. From 1954 to 1975, Vietnam was divided in two states,
North Vietnam and South Vietnam. From 1863/1885 to
1954 Vietnam (divided into three regional entities - French Cochinchina 1863-1954,
Annam 1885-1954 and French Tonkin 1885-1954) were,
together with Laos and Cambodia, were part of
French Indochina. From 1802 to 1885 Vietnam was unified under the Nguyen Dynasty. However, contemporary sources continue to use the names of earlier political entities - Annam, Cochinchina, Tonkin (in various spelling varieties), all being used in reference to this unified Vietnam. From the 16th century to 1802, Vietnam was divided in Tonkin, Annam, Cochinchina (Tonkin, Annam vassalls od China, Cochinchina a vassal of Annam. To the south of Cochinchina were the remnants of the Kingdom of Champa, the last parts of which were absorbed by Cochinchina in the late 18th century, while the Mekong Delta, until about the same time, belonged to Cambodia.
