The French take over
The French easily took over the people of Indochina because they were helpless against the force of the French. The government also had no control over the power of the French which ment it was easy for the French to gain control. The people were forced to abide with the ways of the French. The French looked ot exploit the rice production of Indochina and to also gain resources such as rubber, tin, oil iron, and slaves. They made Indochina a place for trade and profit. The french set up a Federal government where they would rule the people through a protectorate. Under the French rule, there were new roads set up, a stonger education established, the teaching of the French language, new towns, cities, and trading posts were set up, sanitation and health conditions improved, and new goods were brought over from Europe.
The Events under the French
As the French brought their new ways of life into Indochina, they also brought their technological advancements into Indochina. Building structures became modernized and roads and towns began to appear on the map. Many rebellions took place during the French rule. The Kha rebellion took place for 6 years and took place in Laos under the control of a Kha chief in southern Laos. The Thai rebellion was the largest anti-colonial rebellion in Indochina. Criminals were taken out of their jails and they terrorized the cities in Indochina and took over French government posts. The voer throw of the monarchy was the greatest impact created by the French. The French over threw the monarchy to set up thier own government. When the French were forced to leave Indochina, the monarchy had to eventually build itself back up eventhough being placed incharge by the French. Because the government was still weak, this gave communists a chance to rise up and take over the whole country, and they did.
