As a expert of Southeast Asian historical past, i'm frequently requested to introduce a publication that will relate the heritage of Vietnam, from its beginnings to the current.

In an effort to speed Quoc’s return to Indochina, the French gave an undertaking that he would not be executed if the British agreed to extradite him. N.

The French were acutely aware from the early 1930s of the paramount nature of the German threat, but they could not ignore the Japanese threat either.
