No New Posts The French Indochina War (1945-1954)

The beginning of the Cold War began with the French Indochina War (1945-54) in which French, French Union, Vietnamese and Foreign Legion units fought against Communist Vietnamese, Chinese and Soviet-bloc supplied troops in the Viet-bac of Vietnam. Though the French Indochina War (called la guerre d'indochine) was a post-WWII colonial war to maintain Indochina as part of the French empire, the war quickly turned into the first shot across the bow in the Cold War.
