January 16, 1947.The Indochinese conflict broke out in Haiphong after a conflict of interest in import duty at Haiphong port between the Viet Minh government and the French.

On November 23, 1946 the French fleet began a naval bombardment of the city that killed over 6,000 Vietnamese civilians in an afternoon according to one source[10] or over 2000 according to another.[11] The Viet Minh quickly agreed to a cease-fire and left the cities. There was no intention among the Vietnamese to give up though, and General Vo Nguyen Giap soon brought up 30,000 men to attack the city. Although the French were outnumbered, their better weaponry and naval support made any Việt Minh's attack impossible. In December, hostilities broke out in Hanoi between the Viet Minh and the French and Ho Chi Minh was forced to evacuate the capital in favor of remote mountain areas. Guerrilla warfare ensued with the French in control of almost everything except very remote areas.

  • @joe101394 Bon tu pense ce que tu veux, j'en ai rien à foutre en fait. Crache moi dessus, crache sur la France, énerve toi sur youtube si ça te fait plaisir. Moi tout ce que je vois c'est que le Vietnam, un si beau pays, un pays libre de tout mal est devenu un pays communiste belliqueux ou le respect et l'amour ont disparu. Je fais des efforts pour trouver des choses positives entre la France et le Vietnam, mais si tu veux penser aux horreurs commises, libre à toi. peace
