The DRV won fair and square against France at Dien Bien Phu. But the Vietnamese military and society had to pay and astonishing price for victory.
The battle of Dien Bien Phu almost started on January 25th, 1954....
1953. General Navarre is the 7th coach appointed for the French French team. His goal: to prevent France from being relegated from Indochina. His plan : play it safe in 1953-54, then go on the offensive from 1955 onwards. But General Giap wants to put a spanner in his works and attacks in Tai country, thereby threatening Laos. The road to Dien Bien Phu is then wide open.
In 1953, the French are lost. What to do? Follow public opinion, cut their losses and get out of Indochina? Or fight harder, as advised by the new American administration? While France is heistating, the DRV makes a move in Laos.
1952: Strategic differences began to appear between French and American allies, at the very moment when the Vietnamese and Chinese agreed to extend the war to the North West of Viet Nam, towards the border with Laos.
After their win on the Chinese border, the DRV went for the win but were stopped on their tracks by one person: General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny. Production: Xavier Diamé Ndour Contact: podcast.decolonisations@gmail.com Music: Niamar le Conteur

On 8 March 1949, Viet Nam became independent as an associated state within the French Union. Viet Nam reunified its two protectorates, regained Cochinchina and Bao Daï became head of state. However, this was not real independence. It was just a ploy by the French to get American assistance and secure French presence in Viet Nam.
In 1946, in Paris, Ho Chi Minh described the future war this way to American journalist David Schoenbrun: "It will be a war between an elephant and a tiger. If the tiger ever stands still the elephant will crush him with his mighty tusks. But the tiger does not stand still. He lurks in the jungle by day and emerges by night. He will leap upon the back of the elephant, tearing huge chunks from his hide, and then he will leap back into the dark jungle. And slowly the elephant will bleed to death. That will be the war of Indochina." Source: David Schoenbrun, "As France Goes" (New York: Harper & Bros., 1957)
On 1802, Gia Long proclaimed the empire of Vietnam. But by 1885, the French were in control of all the territory.
En 1797, Toussaint Louverture expulse le commissaire Sonthonax de la colonie
Deux à peine après avoir rejoint le camp républicain, Toussaint Louverture profite du coup d’état raté du Général Jean-Louis Vilatte pour se hisser au rang de Gouverneur Adjoint
Sonthonax et Polverel ont proclamé l'indépendance mais des questions demeurent. La Convention va-t-elle confirmer leur décision? Les Noirs vont-ils rejoindre la République etc..? Bam ti bonjou de Mario Canonge à retrouver dans la Playlist Decolonisations Haiti
Avec la proclamation du 5 mai 1793, Sonthonax a mis le doigt dans un engrenage qui va aboutir à la proclamtion d'émancipation générale du 29 août 1793. Avant d'en arriver la, la ville du Cap part aussi en fumée entrainant l'exode des élites blanches.
Où on suit les aventures des commissaires civils Sonthonax et Polverel, chargés de mettre en œuvre la loi du 4 avril 1792, accordant la pleine citoyenneté aux gens libres de couleur. Recommandation Musicale: ⁠Yele⁠ de Wyclef Jean A retrouver dans aussi dans la ⁠Playlist⁠ sur Spotify  
En attendant l’arrivée des commissaires Sonthonax et Polverel, la situation devient encore plus chaotique dans toutes les provinces de la colonie….

La fin 1791 et debut 1792 sont marquées par a loi du 4 avril 1792, reconnaissant la pleine citoyenneté aux gens de couleur mais aussi par la continuation de la guerre dans toute la colonie: au sud et à l'ouest, entre blancs et gens de couleur; au nord, idem malgré des pourparlers etntre les rebelles noirs et les notables blancs. Ces pourparlers marquent l'entrée en scène d'un personnage déjà exceptionnel prénommé Toussaint.
Août 1791, tandis que coups de poing trottent et que nos champions blancs et de couleur songent à se défendre, arrivent de troisièmes larrons qui saisissent les Maîtres Colons, brulent les habitations et lancent le long combat de l'abolition de l'esclavage. C'est le début de la révolte des esclaves!
