Summary
Le 24 mars 1945, le Gouvernement Provisore de la République Française (G.P.R.F.) publie une déclaration relative l'Indochine… La conception fédérale qui l'inspire s'applique l'organisation interne de l'Indochine; la Fédération Indochinoise est considérée comme composée de cinq pays: l'Annam, le Tonkin, la Cochinchine, le Cambodge, le Laos. Elle est intégrée dans un ensemble qui vient succéder à la Communauté Française: l'Union Française.
–Sockeel-Richarte, ‘La Problème de la Souveraineté Française sur l'Indochine’, in Le Général de Gaulle et l'Indochine 1940–1946, 26.Taking intergenerational differences, inter alia, into account, if the villagers, and people who shared the communes, districts and provinces, of Ho Chi Minh, Mao Tse-tung and Kim Il-sung could accommodate men of their respective calibres there might have been no Korean War or Vietnam War as well as the last Chinese Civil War (compromises on contradictory ambitions or aspirations that had failed to be ironed out seemed to be a fundamental cause of disagreements).
In the wake of the Potsdam Declaration and post-war civil wars in China, Korea and Vietnam, the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and the Geneva Conference as well as the Vietnam War, etc. revolutionaries or activists like Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap or Ngo Dinh Diem as well as the equivalents of their predecessors in due course helped to bring what was considered as the Vietnamese or Annamese ethnie or race to the public attention in the West.
