Just a few decades ago, back in the mid nineteenth century, French Indochina became the established European designation for mainland Asia from modern-day Laos south and east through Cambodia to Vietnam. An artificial construction of the French colonial regime, the term “French Indochina” represents the distinct cultural and ethnic groups of and throughout the entire region. The peninsula of which Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam are a part lies between India and China and is geographically connected with both. However, its people are neither Indian nor Chinese but a combination of races from the 3 countries that we’ll be elaborating upon - Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
French Indochina is part of the French colonial empire in Southeast Asia. During colonization in this era, we recognize the French leaving the local rulers, the Emperors and Kings of the respective colonized countries, in power. But in actual fact, these local rulers are only acting as figureheads, with the majority of influence and power over the natives still within the hands of the French.
This travel guide will show you the comparison of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam before and during/after the period of colonization. We hope that your curiosity would facilitate your admiration and appreciation for these countries better after reading through this travel guide, making them your ideal travel destinations! :)
