First Indochina War



The First Indochina War (also called the French Indochina War, the French War or the Franco-Vietnamese War) was fought in Indochina between 1946 and 1954 between the imperial forces of the French Republic and the Hồ Chí Minh-led Việt Minh (Vietnam Independence League). Most of the major actions took place in the northern third of Vietnam (the area the French referred to as Tonkin) although the conflict engulfed the entire country and also extended into the neighboring Indochinese countries of Laos and Cambodia.
