Detailed explanation-1: -France began colonizing Vietnam in full force under Napoleon III.

This was followed by the capture of Saigon in 1859.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Vietnam War (1955-1975) was fought between communist North Vietnam, backed by the Soviet Union and China, and South Vietnam, supported by the United States.
