Detailed explanation-1: -Colonialism also produced a physical transformation in Vietnamese cities. Traditional local temples, pagodas, monuments and buildings, some of which had stood for a millennium, were declared derelict and destroyed. Buildings of French architecture and style were erected in their place.
Detailed explanation-2: -By the end of the 19th century, France had established the colony of French Indochina, consisting of modern Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.
Detailed explanation-3: -Decolonisation paved the way for self-rule through a constitutional form of government in erstwhile colonies. The imperial powers kept subjugating captured states previously because they claimed that their departure would lead to anarchy. However, this turned out to be a fallacy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Vietnam became a French colony in 1877 with the founding of French Indochina, which included Tonkin, Annam, Cochin China and Cambodia. (Laos was added in 1893.) The French lost control of their colony briefly during World War II, when Japanese troops occupied Vietnam.
