  • Since the late 19th century, the region known as Indochina (Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia) had been under French colonial rule. With the fall of France and the takeover of the German supported Puppet Government, Vietnam found itself as an Axis occupied territory under Vichy rule. On the 22 September, 1940 the Imperial Japanese Army invaded French Indochina, and in a matter of days had swept aside the colonial forces and taken control of the region. Owing to the fact that both Vichy France and Japan were part of the Axis powers, and thus supposedly allied, Japan allowed the French to maintain partial domestic control over the region, while the Japanese began using Vietnam as both a military base and a place from which to launch their ensuing assaults on the rest of Southeast Asia and parts of the Pacific.The uneasy relationship between the Vichy colonists and the Japanese Empire came to a head on March 9, 1945, when Japan cast aside its previous agreement with the French and took control of the entire region. Hoping to gain support from the Vietnamese people, they declared Vietnam to be a sovereign nation, and appointed the renowned scholar Tran Trong Kim as prime minister to lead a pro-Japanese government under the newly instated Vietnamese emperor Bao Dai.
