About this ebook

Over the decades that followed, the Vietnamese mounted various attempts to rid themselves of the French, but each attempt proved fruitless until the Second World War came and made changes to the world order. This time, a combination of different factors would result in the Vietnamese fighting back and shocking the colonizers with a humiliating defeat.
