The French was able to spread their power to other countries along with influencing their culture onto already existing civilizations. They brought more education to Vietnamese people and therefore making Vietnamese people who were more educated than others, were Catholic (as a result of spreading their religion), and also spoke fluent French.

Vietnam used to be owned by the French, French colonies to the Vietnam from the late 1800s to 1954. In that time French improve Vietnam a lot.
2. They improve the trade of Vietnam, and they let Vietnam become a source of rice and crops country.
3. The reason is because French let Vietnam become the third largest country of rice.

They were living their life fine and were able to live comfortably and feed their families but after the French came they could have taken their jobs and made them have no way to make money. To add on, they were forced to pay taxes for the innovations that the French brought over to Vietnam that may have forced them to lose their homes and work in the coal mines. ]]> 2021-12-07 21:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/278a81snnvnxaco/wish/1934605297 Ervin Lu, Romeo Cruz https://padlet.com/slohman/278a81snnvnxaco/wish/1934606125 Question #1: Life was alright for the Vietnamese, then when the French came they made many changes in Vietnam. They modernized the country by building railroads connecting the major cities. Of special pride to both the Vietnamese and the French was a railroad connecting the northern capital, Hanoi, to Saigon the largest city in South Vietnam.

Question #2: The changes the French made in Indochina   was that they modernized the country by building railroads connecting the major cities.

Question #3: As an French official I think it was good because they got more education by the French people and started improving the quality of life there.

  1. From the point of view of a peasant, they were given larger taxes and hard working conditions. The people who worked in the rubber plantations in Vietnam often had malaria, dysentery, and malnutrition. While from a French official's point of view they thought of Vietnam as a way for cheap labor. They also spread their religion, language, and history so they thought that they were actually helping the Vietnamese people. As an outside observer the imperialization of Vietnam only hurt its economy and culture. They hurt its economy by exporting most of its natural resources for France's benefit, in which they got most of the profits. And France tried to replace their culture since they thought that theirs were superior and more humane instead of trying to understand their different beliefsFrom the point of view of a peasant, they were given larger taxes and hard working conditions.

We believe the French rule was good from a French Officials perspective because they had modernized Vietnam. Some examples of the modernization is creating bigger cities and bringing electricity to Vietnam. The French also created their own legal system in Vietnam which was more humane than the legal system in place before it. Another thing the French did to modernize Vietnam was to improve their education system. They introduced roman alphabet to educate the Vietnamese people who later on were able to complete schooling. ]]> 2021-12-07 21:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/slohman/278a81snnvnxaco/wish/1934608562 Neilson Castillo, Austin F, Trenton F https://padlet.com/slohman/278a81snnvnxaco/wish/1934609428 1.
