Almost a century after French colonialism began in Vietnam, the international tide turned against European domination in both Africa and Southeast Asia. Nationalistic movements in Vietnam were energized by the ideological prowess of Marxist-Leninist thinkers from Paris and the brotherhood of communists from China and the Soviet Union, both of which strengthened the movement away from colonialism. In March, 1949, less than four years after the Japanese surrendered to Ho Chi Minh and his followers, the French sought to preserve some semblance of authority in southern Vietnam by naming Vietnam a state. The state was formed under certain conditions: The French retained control of Vietnam’s foreign, defense, and trade policies. In 1945 they also selected Bao Dai, who abdicated rule under pressure from Ho Chi Minh and his nationalist group, the Viet Minh , to serve as head of state of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh remained adamantly opposed to French involvement in Vietnamese affairs. He wanted his people to be free from all outside rule and therefore was determined to break French domination over Vietnam permanently.
