Kadura, Johannes Felix Peter. "US policy towards Indochina, 1973-6." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2012. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265532.
Full textAbstract:
The topic of my doctoral dissertation is Washington's Indochina policy from 1973-6. My thesis seeks to shed new light on the period and aims to clarify the central points that have been raised in the surrounding academic controversy. In the study it is argued that neither the so-called "decent interval" nor the "permanent war" theory adequately captures Nixon and Kissinger's post-Paris Agreement strategy. Moreover, my study attempts to highlight both the accuracy and shortcomings of Nixon and Kissinger' s own accounts. In so doing, it aims to offer a new interpretation of Nixon, Kissinger, and later Ford's Indochina policy that centers on the concept of an "insurance policy." In my disse1tation it is argued that the protagonists followed a twofold strategy of making a major effort to uphold South Vietnam while at the same time maintaining a fallback strategy of downplaying the overall significance of Vietnam, stressing good relations with the Soviets' and Chinese, and creating an image of touglmess to counterbalance possible defeat in Indochina. In addition to telling the story of the "war after the war" in Vietnam, my dissertation places Nixon, Kissinger, and Ford's Indochina policy in the broader Cold War context of the 1970s. Contrary to previous analyses, it is argued in the study that the three men's concern with great power relations and American credibility does not seem to have led to a simplistic understanding of the situation in Indochina. Moreover, the link between domestic and foreign policy constitutes a central element of my analysis. While it is concluded that Nixon and Kissinger rightly considered the Watergate scandal as the detennining factor for the actual passage of the long-sought congressional funding cuts for Indochina, it is also argued that Watergate was a self-inflicted mistake rather than a tragedy. More generally speaking, it is maintained that domestic political considerations were important on Nixon, Kissinger, and Ford's side, but did not oveITide the protagonists' foreign policy concerns. Finally, my doctoral dissertation provides a reevaluation of Ford that stresses the president's agent role in implementing a hawkish Indochina policy. In sum, my analysis of Washington's Indochina policy highlights Nixon, Kissinger, and Ford's concern with flexibility and their attempt to respond to the challenges of the turbulent 1970s with a coherent, adaptable realpolitik.

Full textAbstract:
Voilà soixante ans que la France s'est retirée de l'Indochine. La chute de Diên Biên Phu, le 7 mai 1954, et la conférence de Genève, qui s'est achevée le 21 juillet 1954, ont mis un terme à l'engagement français en Asie du Sud-Est qui avait duré presque un siècle.Aujourd'hui, l'ancienne colonie ne joue qu'un rôle secondaire dans la perception publique. La littérature constitue une exception dans la mesure où elle reconstruit l'Indochine en prose. Ce que nous proposons dans cette thèse de doctorat est une analyse qui se concentre sur les représentations imaginaires du territoire de l'Indochine. Nous tenteronsde démontrer que c'est autour d'une logique spatiale que se constitue la littérature postcoloniale.En comparaison avec la littérature, les autobiographies historiques, les photographies et les films prétendent de rendre compte de la situation en Indochine en présentant juste un détail qui recouvre la complexité d'une vue d'ensemble. Uniquement la littérature postcoloniale révèle une approche critique et de son histoire et de son discours ainsi que de ses limites. Le récit sur l'Indochine révèle ses modes d'imagination. De cette façon, il correspond plusà la « vérité » de la colonie que d'autres modes de représentation historique. La linéarité de l'historiographie se termine dans la construction littéraire pour faire place à une Indochine qui est de nouveau un sujet de discours pour les contemporainsThe issue of this project will be the post-colonial imagining of Indochina in mainly French literature. Starting with the historical and geographical roots, it is shown that the imagining of a territory called Indochina began in the 19th century and still has an impact on the narration of the territory. The creation of a colony with this name began in 1862 and ended with the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Until today, this aspect of the French past is a taboo.The publication of Marguerite Duras' novel „L'amant“ in 1984 gave a new impetus to this subject. Others followed. The objective of this project is to follow these traces left mainly in texts but also in maps, films, and pictures included in the novels. The digressions between the media leads to a comparison which shows that all media apart from the literature tend to limit their view on Indochina and to cover up the darker parts. The novels develop a critical view on historical science and question its task to maintain history by remaining neutral. It is shown that by telling the story of Indochina without skipping the resulting disastrous impact on the whole society literature has an important task. Creating a story by imagining and by intensifying the narration, literature as a commentary in the sense of Michel Foucault helps to remember why war is still part of every man's and woman's life and why it should stop

Maloux, Thierry. "À l’ombre d’Angkor, l’action des militaires français au Cambodge, 1863-1954." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUL074.
Full textAbstract:
Sous l’ombre tutélaire des temples d’Angkor, les militaires français ont marqué de leur empreinte toute l’histoire du protectorat français au Cambodge. Nous avons décliné cette action sous trois aspects. Une action politique et diplomatique qui engerbe les problématiques liées au contexte cambodgien mais aussi celles des grands équilibres régionaux et internationaux. L’étude s’attache à discerner ce qui tient de l’engagement personnel des militaires et ce qui se réfère aux engagements politiques et diplomatiques du gouvernement français. Une action militaire qui a pour but de pacifier le Cambodge, de sauvegarder les intérêts français puis d’éviter l’invasion du pays par les forces communistes. Les méthodes et l’efficacité de l’outil militaire français dans ce contexte sont particulièrement analysées. Enfin, il s’agit d’analyser l’action des « militaires sans armes » : explorateurs, archéologues, ethnologues, écrivains etc., qui consolident le rôle de la France dans la reconstruction de l’identité khmère et affirment sa présence en Indochine. Une analyse prosopographique tente de discerner, pour chacun des militaires concernés, l’action qui peut s’expliquer comme une quête personnelle, voire intime, et celle qui tient de sa mission ou de l’œuvre collective. La nature du protectorat créé par les militaires français puis son évolution vers un modèle tendant à s’adapter aux invariants khmers et au contexte politique français est au coeur de cette étude. L’outil militaire français au Cambodge se dévoile ainsi à travers sa structuration, son fonctionnement et ses métamorphoses créant une situation coloniale singulière entre la France et le CambodgeUnder the protecting shadow of the Angkor temples, the French military have left their mark in the history of the French protectorate in Cambodia. We propose to portray this action from three different angles. A political and diplomatic action that embraces the questions related to the Cambodian context, and those related to the regional and international balance of powers. The study seeks to discern what pertains to the personal commitment of the military, and what refers to the political and diplomatic commitments of the French government. A military action that aims to pacify Cambodia, to safeguard the French interests, and to avoid the invasion of the country by the communist forces. The methods and effectiveness of the French military tool in this context are carefully analysed. Finally, the action of the "unarmed soldiers": explorers, archaeologists, ethnologists, writers, etc., who also played a key role in the reconstruction of the Khmer identity, and in reinforcing its presence in the French Indochina. A prosopographic analysis attempts to differentiate, for each of the soldiers involved, the action that can be explained as a personal and sometimes intimate quest, from the action that is part of his mission or that could be considered as the product of the collective work. The nature of the protectorate, created by the French military, and its evolution towards a model inclined to adapt itself to the Khmer invariants and to the French political context, are at the heart of this study. The French military tool in Cambodia is thus revealed through its structuring, functioning and metamorphosis creating an unusual colonial relationship between France and Cambodia

Pairaudeau, Natasha. "Indians as French citizens in colonial Indochina, 1858-1940." Thesis, SOAS, University of London, 2009. http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/28764/.
Full textAbstract:
This study demonstrates how Indians with French citizenship were able through their stay in Indochina to have some say in shaping their position within the French colonial empire, and how in turn they made their mark on Indochina itself. Known as 'renouncers', they gained their citizenship by renouncing their personal laws in order to to be judged by the French civil code. Mainly residing in Cochinchina, they served primarily as functionaries in the French colonial administration, and spent the early decades of their stay battling to secure recognition of their electoral and civil rights in the colony. Their presence in Indochina in turn had an important influence on the ways in which the peoples of Indochina experienced and assessed French colonialism. Indochina was important to French India from the late-nineteenth century, I maintain, because of the way renouncers were able to develop social and political agendas over long distances to secure their rights within the French empire. I further the study of late-colonial migrations from British India by adding a trajectory under French colonial conditions to other better-known itineraries. I advance thinking on migration by showing how movements stimulated the circulation not just of goods and labour but of ideas. I support claims that colonised peoples were not passive agents, and bring to the fore the struggles of colonised people fighting not against, but within a colonial framework. I reinstate the Indian presence in the colonial history of Vietnam, not only to support the restoration to southern Vietnam of its historical social diversity, or to draw attention to long-neglected minority groups. The thesis, I argue, brings new insights to the complexities of colonial encounters. The presence of Indian French citizens in colonial Indochina generated encounters between Indians and Vietnamese which were outside of French control. In so doing it highlighted not the strengths but the inherent weaknesses of colonial rule.

Full textAbstract:
Le principal objet de ce travail est l’enseignement au Vietnam pendant la période coloniale française 1862-1945 dans la formation des intellectuels vietnamiens. En effet, dans le bouleversement historique de la période coloniale (1862-1945), la société vietnamienne a connu des transformations radicales. L’enseignement au Vietnam a connu des changements sans précédent. En Cochinchine, après qu’elle est devenue colonie française (1862-1864), les concours des lettrés sont supprimés. Au Tonkin et en Annam, après les réformes de 1906 à 1917, le système de l’enseignement traditionnel est supprimé en 1919. Au début, l'enseignement en langue française a comme but de former des interprètes. Mais, seule une partie de la population vietnamienne accepte d’envoyer ses enfants dans les écoles françaises. Après les mouvements vers l’instruction occidentale dirigée par des lettrés dans la première décennie du XXe siècle, la population a changé d’attitude par rapport à l’école française. Avec l’application du Règlement Général de l’Instruction Publique de 1917, le système d’enseignement en français est devenu le seul système de l’enseignement officiel. Pendant la période 1862-1945, on constate la disparition progressive de la classe des lettrés et l’émergence des nouveaux intellectuels modernes. La majorité des intellectuels de cette période est issue de l’école française en Indochine. Même si le nombre d’écoles est faible, on constate que la qualité est bonne. Les écoles en français au Vietnam 1862-1945, notamment, les écoles post primaires et supérieures, sont des établissements importants pour répandre les connaissances, la culture et les sciences. Les collèges et les lycées franco indigènes sont les lieux d’étude de la majorité des intellectuels vietnamiens formés avant 1945. L’École de Médecine et de Pharmacie, l’École supérieure des Sciences ont formé des chercheurs vietnamiens célèbres. Il y a des professeurs vietnamiens remarquables qui sont issus de l’École supérieure de Pédagogie de l’Indochine. L’École supérieure de Droit d’Hanoi a formé des élites intellectuelles. L’École des Beaux-arts de l’Indochine est à l’origine de la première génération des artistes modernes vietnamiensPurpose of this research is the role of education system in Vietnam during colonial period from 1862 to 1945 on training Vietnamese intellectuals. Indeed, in the vicissitudes of the colonial period of 1862-1945, the Vietnamese society had great changes. Vietnam education had changes which never occurred before. After becoming French’s colony (1862-1864), traditional system’s examinations selecting mandarins in Cochinchina had been abolished. And in the Northern and Central Highlands, after the course of 1906 – 1917 reforms, the traditional education system was abolished in 1919. Initially, education in French aimed at training interpreter. But only a small part of the Vietnamese population sent their children into the school of French. It was not until after the socialist movement in the early twentieth century that scholars (or those organized by scholars) encouraged and directed at Western education, people had changed their attitude towards education in French.With the adoption of the General Education Act of 1917, the French language education system became the formal and sole educational system.In the period of 1862-1945, people saw the gradual disappearance of the Confucian scholar and the emergence of new intellectuals. Most of the intellectuals in this period had studied in French schools in Indochina. Although the number of schools was few, we noted that its quality was good.Schools in the French language in Vietnam from 1862 to 1945, especially schools after primary (secondary) and college, university were important facilities to disseminate knowledge, culture and science. High school (secondary and high school or secondary school, high school) was the study place where most Vietnamese intellectuals were trained before 1945. The Indochina Institute of Medicine and Pharmacy, College of Science had trained the famous researchers. Also, there were famous professors of Vietnam who had been trained by The Indochina College of Pedagogics. Hanoi College of Law had trained intelligentsia. The Indochina Art College was the birthplace of modern generation of artists (painters, sculptors) of Vietnam

Cooper, Nicola J. "French colonial discourses : the case of French Indochina 1900-1939." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1997. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/35581/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses upon French colonial discourses at the height of the French imperial encounter with Indochina: 1900-1939. It examines the way in which imperial France viewed her role in Indochina, and the representations and perceptions of Indochina which were produced and disseminated in a variety of cultural media emanating from the metropole. Framed by political, ideological and historical developments and debates, each chapter develops a socio-cultural account of France's own understanding of her role in Indochina, and her relationship with the colony during this crucial period. The thesis asserts that although consistent, French discourses of Empire do not present a coherent view of the nation's imperial identity or role, and that this lack of coherence is epitomised by the Franco-indochinese relationship. The thesis seeks to demonstrate that French perceptions of Indochina were marked above all by a striking ambivalence, and that the metropole's view of the status of Indochina within the Empire was often contradictory, and at times paradoxical. Indeed, the thesis argues that Indochina was imagined through a series of antitheses which reflect the incoherent nature of French colonial discourse during this period. This thesis uses as its primary material a variety of key cultural media which informed the popular perception of Indochina during this period: metropolitan and Franco-indochinese school manuals; the writings and designs of French colonial urbanists; the works of influential colonial apologists; 'official' texts relating to the organisation and impact of the Exposition coloniale of 1931; travel journalism; and metropolitan fiction relating to Indochina. The discursive approach that this thesis takes, focusing clearly upon the socio-cultural dimension, should provide an important re-evaluation of French Indochina and its legacy, and should make a contribution to the understanding of France's relations with her colonial territories during the first half of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to study the relationship between the Vietnamese communists and China between January 1956 and Summer 1962. It is the first book-length study of Sino-Vietnamese relations during those years. Its principle contribution will be to reconstruct the events as they unfolded in IndoChina and to provide a glimpse of the patterns of decision-making on the communist side of the Vietnam War. Every effort is made to keep in perspective the constant interaction of domestic politics, the role of individual leaders and political factions in both Hanoi and Beijing, and the changing international conditions which impinged on both countries. 1956 was the beginning of a new stage of the Vietnamese struggle for the unification of the country. The years from 1956 to 1962 saw the progression of the Vietnamese communists' struggle from one which was essentially political in nature to one which incorporated armed struggle, and finally in 1959 when armed struggle began to take on a more predominant role. By the summer of 1962, the Chinese were committed to assisting the Vietnamese communists' struggle in the South. This study makes use of Vietnamese, Chinese, British and American sources, many of which were then either not available or have not yet been fully exploited by the earlier scholars. These comprise new Vietnamese source materials and in particular, the second volume of the Lich Su Quan Doi Nhan Dan Viet Nam ([Official] History of the Vietnamese People's Army (VPA)); newly available Chinese source materials; first-person accounts and memoirs of those who in one way or another had been involved in the diplomacy of the 50s and 60s; communist sources monitored and translated by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) known as the Summary of world Broadcasts (SUB); the British Foreign Office General Political Correspondence (FO 371); the Confidential United States State Department Central Files; the United States State Department's Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series; and United States intelligence reports and captured communist documents.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of Indochina in the French imagination was articulated in both representational and institutional modes. Representation involves the transmission of colonial ideals through more obtuse means; that is, through literary texts, travelogues, exhibitions, film and advertising. However, these textual sites feed from and invest in a material situation, which was the institutional arm of colonialism. Indochina was institutionally articulated in cartographic maps and surveys, in the new social spaces of cities and towns, in architectural and technological forms, through social technologies of discipline and welfare and in cultural and religious organisations. The aim of this thesis is to analyse, across a number of textual sites, the representation and institutionalisation of Otherness through the politics of space in the French colony of Indochina, Indochine in this sense becomes a spatial discourse. The French constructed a mental and physical space for Indochina by blanketing and suffocating the original cultural landscape, which in fact had to be ignored for this process to occur. What actually became manifest as a result of this projection stemmed from the French imagination.
Just as the French manipulated space, language also underwent the same process of reduction. The Vietnamese script was latinised to make it more 'useable' and accessible. Through christening the union of Indochina; initiating a comprehensive writing reform; and renaming the streets in the colonial cities, the French used language us another tool for 'making transparent'. Furthermore, the colonial powers established a communication and transport network throughout the colony in an attempt to materialise their fictive (artificial) vision of a unified French Indochinese space. The accessibility and design of these different modes of transport reflected the gendered, racial and class divisions inherent in the colonial establishment.
At the heart of representing and institutionalising Indochina was the desire to control and contain. This characterised French imperial ordering of space in the city and the rural areas. In rural areas land was divided into small parcels and alienated to individuals or worked into precise grids for the rubber plantation. In urban centres the native quarter was clearly demarcated from the European quarter which functioned as its modern, progressive Other. The rationale behind this segregation was premised on European, nineteenth century discourses of race, class, gender and hygiene. Influenced by Darwinian and neo-Lamarkian theories of race, this biological discourse identified the 'working class', 'women' and 'the native' as not only biologically but also culturally inferior. They were perceived as a potential, degenerative threat to the biological, cultural and industrial development of the nation. In the colonial context, space was thus ordered and domesticated to control the native population. Coextensively, the literature which springs from such a structure will be tainted by the same ideas, and thus the spaces it formulates within the readers mind feed on and reinforce this foundation.
Examples of gender and indigenous narratives which contest this imaginative, transparent topography are analysed throughout this thesis. They provide instances of struggle and resistance which undermine the ideal/stereotypical level of architectural and planned space and delineate an alternative insight into colonial spatial and social relations. The fictional accounts of European women and indigenous writers both challenge and reaffirm the fixity of some of these idealised colonial boundaries.
In various literary, historical, political, architectural and cinematic discourses Indochina has been und continues to be depicted as a modern city and exotic Utopia. Informed by the mood of nostalgia, exotic images of Indochina have resurfaced in contemporary French culture. France's continued desire to create, control and maintain an Indochinese space in the French public imagination reinforces the multi-layered, interconnected and persistent nature of colonial discourse.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a different interpretation and new insights on Vietnam's social and economic history through a study of Indochina's rubber planters and migrant contract labour up to 1939. A different reading of available material and use of new sources, such as Michelin Archives, Archives of the Colonial Union, the Comité de l'Indochine, Nam Dinh and Hanoi's local Archives, supplemented by interviews with former rubber plantation workers, have been used to clarify obscure points and advance grasp of a subject that is yet to be fully and objectively studied. Apart from arguing that the role of the colonial state over labour was more than just a response to planter demands for assistance, I also postulate that labour supplying areas were neither overpopulated, invariably poor nor were recruits hapless. Rich agricultural lands, mineral resources, modem industry in parts of Tonkin, numerous craft industries, together with the all supportive Vietnamese Commune, provided Tonkin's peasants with varied means of subsistence. At the same time, I have argued that forced recruitment of labour was not practical or rational, especially in Northern Indochina, where the French colonial administration was superimposed on an existing, through somewhat reformed, traditional administrative structure. Recruits generally knew their recruiters and were aware of what they signed for. In many instances when their rights were violated, they complained. In short, what this work does is to question, on the basis of old and new material, some of the assumptions held on rubber planters and contract migrant labour and provides a more specific discussion of issues such as, the fractious nature of Indochina's rubber planters, the role of government officials in labour supplying areas, the age of recruits, their areas of origin, the proportion of female labour recruits and patterns of outward migration, aspects that have so far only been considered in general terms or simply ignored. 1

Full textAbstract:
Entre 1930 et 1945, l’Indochine connaît des bouleversements conduisant à un profond réaménagement de la politique coloniale française axée sur une projet identitaire novateur. Cependant, la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l’arrivée du régime de Vichy contribuent à modifier cette approche. Dirigée par l’amiral Decoux, l’Indochine vit à l’heure de la Révolution nationale métropolitaine. Fidèle exécutante du projet métropolitain de « régénérescence » nationale, l’Indochine sous Vichy se construit une identité fédérale sous autorité française et poursuit la construction d’une multitude d’identités nationales locales. Mais le contexte de la guerre donne à ce projet un but également utilitaire, à savoir conserver la fidélité des populations indochinoises face à l’irrédentisme siamois et les prétentions impérialistes japonaises. Embrigadant les populations, réprimant les opposants indochinois, mais aussi français, vantant un programme à la fois culturel, racial, scolaire, l’Indochine devient la fille fidèle du régime métropolitain. Cette comparaison peut également s’étendre par sa relation compliquée et conflictuelle avec un occupant japonais qui exerce sur la péninsule un contrôle et des pressions multiformes donnant lieu à une collaboration peu connue. Néanmoins, l’évolution du conflit, la promotion d’identités locales exclusives et les refus français de dépasser un cadre colonial aboutissent à l’émergence des premières fractures et à l’implosion de l’Indochine françaiseBetween 1930 and 1945, Indochina underwent upheavals leading to a profound reorganization of French colonial policy centred on an innovative project of identites. However, the Second World War and the arrival of the Vichy regime contributed to modifying this approach. Managed by admiral Decoux, Indochina was in step with the metropolitan national Revolution. Faithful performer of the metropolitan project of national " régénérescence ", Indochina under Vichy built itself a federal identity under French authority and pursued the construction of a multitude of local national identities. But the context of the war also gave this project a utilitarian purpose, namely preserving the loyalty of the Indochinese populations opposite the Siamese irredentism and to Japanese imperialist claims. Recruiting populations, repressing Indochinese opponents. It also saw the French, praise the elaborate a cultural, racial, and school program. Indochina thereby became the faithful daughter of the metropolitan Pétainist regime. This comparison can also be extended by its complicated and conflicting relation with a Japanese occupant who exercised control and multiform pressures on the peninsula, thus giving rise to a little known collaboration. Nevertheless, the evolution of the conflict, the promotion of exclusive local identities and the French refusals to exceed colonial limits resulted in the emergence of the first fractures that would lead to the implosion of French Indochina

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of the refugee exodus is not unique to the twentieth century. On the contrary, refugee masses have existed since the dawn of Empires and the wars which accompanied their construction. However, the twentieth century is, in many respects, a turning point in the aggravation of the refugee problem:
The modern nation state, consolidated after WWI, implies a rigid partition of formerly porous territories. Whereas in the nineteenth century the questions relating to refugees were treated on a more individual level, without public intervention, the compartmentalisation of the world gave rise to an international dimension of these specific population movements.
Modern technologies enable the nations to make intensified wars and to generate mass destruction. This phenomenon, accelerated by the rise of totalitarian regimes3, has led to an increasing number of uprooted people.
The world-wide decline in mortality rates and the resulting over-population in countries of the South, combined with an uneven distribution of resources, and the ruthless over-exploitation of land are at the origin of an intensifying economic and ecological dimension of the refugee problem.
Today, the number of uprooted men, women and children is greater than ever before. The U.S. Committee for Refugees reported an increase of 52,595 of the world's refugees4 between 1984 and 1989. Presently, there exist over 15.1 million refugees, of which children represent nearly one half of the total (7.5 million)5 . The number of displaced persons (about 20 Million) is even more important.

Throughout recorded history, Indochina has experienced conflict, turbulence and violence. One of the first recorded conflicts was in the first century A. D. when the Hung Sisters led a revolt in Northern Vietnam against Chinese domination. Ever since, relations with China have included long periods of peace and stability broken by conflict, invasion and resistance. But it was not until the United States directly participated in Vietnamese affairs following the French withdrawal after the battle of Dien Bien Phu and the Geneva Settlement of 1954 that the region has been the scene of "superpower rivalry". The wars which have engulfed the Indochina states over the past 30 years have brought untold human suffering and misery. When hostilities finally ceased as a result of the communist victories in Indochina in mid 1970s, the world looked forward hopefully to a long period of peace in which the well-being of the people of the region could be advanced and assured. Unfortunately, conflicts and instability have broken out anew.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1945 and 1960 the British and French governments sent thousands of regular and conscript soldiers to Malaya and Indochina. There, assisted by locally-raised troops and units from other parts of the British Commonwealth and the French Union (or the former empires respectively), they attempted to suppress communist-inspired insurgencies. This thesis examines responses of British and French army personnel, both male and female, to these conflicts, the territories and local communities. It begins with an analysis of the forces’ composition and the international context they operated in. It then asks whether soldiers labelled the conflicts as local disturbances, wars of decolonisation or Cold War theatres. In parallel, it inquiries if they saw their enemies as bandits, nationalists or communist agents. The last two chapters investigate military views on centres of population, infrastructure, environment and peoples, or rather, the extent to which they occupied soldierly minds. Behind this scrutiny lies an attempt to identify imperial affinities, pre-conceived colonial images and pronouncements on Britain’s and France’s imperial records. In scrutinising these issues the thesis seeks to verify the often-cited, but insufficiently supported, claim that Britain’s and France’s armed forces were strongly linked and attached to the colonial empires through conquest, policing and defence. More specifically, the project seeks to fill a gap in the existing literature in regard to military reactions to the end of empires. It does so through a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, drawing from and feeding into imperial, military, political, social, European and Southeast Asian history. The project has relied to a large extent on oral sources. Careful consideration has therefore been given to the ways, in which events have been remembered, how this memory has been shaped over the decades and how it compares to academic studies.

Full textAbstract:
Découlant des conflits qui ont opposé France et Siam à la fin du XIXe siècle pour le contrôle du Laos et du Cambodge, la crise franco-thaïlandaise de l’hiver 1940-1941 est le résultat d’un processus politique initié en 1932 et porté par les militaires nationalistes siamois au pouvoir. Influencés par le fascisme, ces derniers diffusent une propagande entretenant la nostalgie des « territoires perdus » et forgent, tout au long des années 1930, des forces armées formatées pour une guerre de revanche contre les puissances coloniales. Confrontée à partir de l’armistice de juin 1940 à l’isolement de la colonie dont elle assure la sécurité intérieure, l’armée d’Indochine est la première troupe coloniale française qui fait face à l’invasion d’un territoire de l’empire par une armée régulière. La Thaïlande s’appuie aussi sur des mouvements indépendantistes régionaux et la fidélité relative des dynasties locales envers la France afin de déstabiliser l’Union indochinoise, en même temps que la tournure des combats fragilise la position du colonisateur aux yeux de ses administrés. Position rendue encore plus précaire par la diplomatie du Japon qui impose sa médiation pour remplir ses propres objectifs politico-militaires. Par le biais d’une analyse exhaustive des archives militaires françaises et de celles du gouvernement général d’Indochine, ainsi que de correspondances privées de généraux et de la presse, nous verrons l’adaptabilité et les capacités de projection des troupes du groupe de l’Indochine, la difficulté pour celles-ci de mener une guerre sur des territoires, et les conséquences régionales et mondiales de ce conflit frontalier indissociable de la guerre d’Asie-PacifiqueThe Franco-Thai crisis of the winter 1940-1941, resulting from the conflicts that brought into opposition France and Siam because of the control of Laos and Cambodia in the late nineteenth century, was the consequence of a political process initiated in 1932 and supported by the Siamese military nationalists in power. Influenced by the fascism, they dissiminated a propaganda that maintained the nostalgia of the "lost territories". They equally forged throughout the 1930s the armed forces prepared for a revenge war against the colonial powers. Facing the colony’s isolation starting from the armistice of June 1940 and being in charge of the colony’s internal security, the Indochinese army was the first French colonial troop coping with the invasion of the empire’s territory by a regular army. Thailand was also based on the regional independence movements and relative loyalty of the local dynasties to France in order to destabilize the Indochinese Union. At the same time, the turn of the combats weakened the colonizer’s position in the eyes of the citizens. This position was made even more precarious by the Japanese diplomacy which imposed its mediation in order to fulfill its political and military objectives. Through an exhaustive analysis of the French military archives, the Indochinese general government’s archives, the generals’ private correspondence and the press, we will see the adaptability and projection capacities of the Indochinese troops, their difficulty to wage war on the territories, as well as regional and global consequences of this border conflict that is inseparable from the Asia-Pacific war

Full textAbstract:
A la fin du XIXe siècle, les monastères bouddhiques, appelés aussi vat ou pagode, jouaient un rôle essentiel dans la société cambodgienne et la réglementation imposée par le Protectorat n’empêcha pas leur développement continu. Mais, quoique de plus en plus nombreux, ils étaient mal connus et leurs édifices ignorés. Aucun état des sanctuaires possédant une architecture remarquable n’a été réalisé avant les destructions des années 1970, et aucun inventaire n’a été fait depuis. Trois parties composent cette étude : après la présentation des caractéristiques générales de ces monastères, puis de leur mode de création de 1860 à 1975, est analysée l’architecture des 563 sanctuaires bâtis pendant les quatre règnes de cette période et existants encore aujourd’hui. Les autres édifices anciens de ces monastères sont également analysés. Les décors peints sont l’objet d’une autre thèse. Des cartes détaillées et un catalogue contenant une fiche pour chacun de ces sanctuaires, établis après la visite de 1800 vat, complètent cette étudeAt the end of the nineteenth century, the Buddhist monasteries, also known as watt or pagodas, played an essential part in Cambodian society and the regulation enforced by the French Protectorate did not prevent their continued expansion. But, although more and more numerous, they were badly known and their buildings were ignored. No repertory of sanctuaries with outstanding architecture was made before the destruction of the 1970s, and no inventory has been done since.Three parts make up this study. After the presentation of the general characteristics of these monasteries and their method of creation from 1860 to 1975, is analyzed the architecture of the 563 sanctuaries built during the four reigns of this period and still existing today. Other former buildings of these monasteries have been also studied. Murals are analyzed in another thesis. Detailed maps and a catalogue containing a sheet for each of these sanctuaries, carried out after the visit of 1800 watt, complement this study

Titre : L’enseignement supérieur en Indochine (1902-1945) Mots clefs : Enseignement, Enseignement supérieur, université indochinoise, université de Hanoi, Ecoles supérieures, Vietnam, Indochine. Résume : L’enseignement supérieur en Indochine à l’époque coloniale française fut marqué notamment par la création de l’Ecole de Médecine de Hanoi en 1902, puis par la création d’une université indochinoise en 1906 qui était une mesure. Cette décision fut avant tout politique, ce fut celle de Paul Beau pour faire à face aux changements en Extrême-Orient et aux exigences du peuple indigène. A partir de la réforme d’Albert Sarraut en 1917, l’enseignement supérieur devint une partie officielle du système de l’enseignement en Indochine. L’université indochinoise fut réorganisée et plusieurs écoles supérieures furent créées et formèrent à presque tous les domaines nécessaires au développement du pays : la médecine, le droit, les beaux-arts, le commerce, l’agriculture et la sylviculture, les travaux publics et la pédagogie. Jusqu’en 1945, le système d’enseignement supérieur en Indochine fut très complet et très bien organisé et Hanoi devint un centre éducatif dans tout l’empire colonial français. L’université indochinoise, bien que comportant des limites quant à la quantité et la qualité des enseignements propos, a participé au développement des pays de la péninsule indochinoise, pendant la période coloniale et après l’indépendance des trois pays. Elle était la seule université consacrée aux étudiants indigènes dans tout l’empire colonial français. L’université indochinoise est considérée comme une des plus importantes œuvres du colonialisme français en IndochineTitle : Higher education in Indochina (1902-1945) Keywords: Education, higher education, Indochinese university, university of Hanoi, colleges, Vietnam, Indochina. Abstract : The higher education in Indochina in the French colonial period was highlighted by the creation of the School of Medecine of Hanoi in 1902 and by the creation of an Indochinese university in 1906. It was a temporary mesure as well as a political. Paul Beau created the Indochinese university in response to changing situation in the Far East and to match the requirement of indigenous people. From Albert Sarraut’s reform in 1917 onward, the higher education became an official part of the system of education in Indochina. The Indochinese university was reorganized and several colleges were created and trained people in almost every domains to meet the development of the country: the medicine, the law, the fine arts, the business, the agriculture and the forestry, the public works and the pedagogy. Until 1945, the system of higher education in Indochina was very well organized and offered a rather complete. Hanoi became an educational center in the whole French colonial empire. The Indochinese university, despite its limits about the quantity and the quality of lessons proposed, participated in the development of the Indochinese peninsula’s countries, during the colonial era and after independence the three countries. It was the only university dedicated to the native students in all the French colonial empire. The Indochinese university is considered as one of the most important works of the French colonialism in Indochina

Includes bibliographical references (pages 42-43).
The early Cenozoic India-Asia collision resulted in the extrusion of large crustal fragments southeast from the Eastern Himalayan syntaxis, with large shear zones at their boundaries that could have accommodated displacements of hundreds to perhaps a thousand kilometers. Along the northeastern edge of the Indochina extruded fragment, the belt of mylonitic metamorphic rocks generally referred to as the Ailao Shan/Red River shear zone forms the extrusion boundary. This shear zone actually consists of at least two belts, the Ailao Shan and the Day Nui Con Voi, which are separated by a narrow belt of unmetamorphosed Triassic sedimentary rocks. In the Chinese extension of the Day Nui Con Voi, the presence of sillimanite and garnet indicates the shear zone formed at amphibolite grade, and the mylonitic fabric defined by muscovite and biotite indicate left-lateral shearing. Ar/Ar cooling ages indicate the metamorphic rocks reached the cooling temperature of muscovite and biotite 26.07 ± 0.20 to 32.46 ± 0.25 Ma, ages that match those in the Day Nui Con Voi in north Vietnam. These data come from both the core orthogneiss of the shear zone as well as a narrow carapace of metasedimentary rocks of unknown age. Both rock units form an antiform in southern China that plunges below Triassic sedimentary rocks of South China. These relations show that: 1) the Day Nui Con Voi in China is the direct continuation of the same belt in north Vietnam, 2) the Day Nui Con Voi does not directly connect with the Ailao Shan shear zone, 3) the Day Nui Con Voi shear zone has a structural (?) cover of South China Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, 4) structural relations limit the amount of late stage left-lateral shear on the Indochina boundary, and 5) the structural relations require a more complex history for the shear zone along the NE boundary of the extruded Indochina crustal fragment than proposed by all earlier workers.

Full textAbstract:
Les sanctuaires, ou vihāra, des monastères bouddhiques – ou vat - ont joué de tout temps un rôle essentiel dans la société cambodgienne. Lieux de rassemblement, de prière et d’enseignement auprès de la grande statue du Buddha, leurs murs puis leurs plafonds, ont reçu un décor peint racontant ses Vies antérieures et sa Vie historique. Ces témoignages ne figurent sur aucune liste des Archives Nationales de Phnom Penh et n’ont jamais fait l’objet d’une étude approfondie, et encore moins d’un recensement. Les plus anciennes peintures ne sont pas antérieures à la fin du XIXe siècle et les plus récentes ne dépassent pas le milieu des années 1970, période où les Khmers rouges ferment tous les monastères et commencent la destruction de leurs édifices et principalement des vihāra. Plus de 3000 monastères ont été répertoriés et quelque 1800 sanctuaires ont été photographiés pendant cette recherche dont le résultat se présente en trois volumes : le volume I est une étude de la peinture en six chapitres concernant essentiellement les vihāra mais aussi quelques sālā et kūtī ; le volume II contient les annexes constituées d’environ 1400 photographies, des cartes détaillées et la liste des vat concernés ; le volume III est un catalogue des 206 vat ayant conservé des peintures anciennes sur les murs, ou sur d’autres supports - bois, toile, verre ou métal - , illustré de quelque 500 photographiesTemples, or vihāra, of Buddhist monasteries, or watt, always played an essential role in Cambodian society. Places of gathering, prayer and teaching which house the largest statue of the Buddha of the monastery, many of them of have received a decor of paintings on their walls and ceiling, recounting his previous Lives and his historical Life. This heritage is not present in the National Archives of Phnom Penh and has never been the subject of a thorough study, let alone a census. The oldest paintings are not earlier than the end of the 19th century and the most recent do not exceed the mid-1970s, when the Khmer Rouges close all monasteries and begin to destroy their buildings, mainly the vihāra. More than 3000 monasteries have been identified and 1800 sanctuaries were photographed during this research whose result is presented in three volumes : volume I is a study of the paintings into six chapters concerning mainly the vihāra but also some sālā and kūtī; volume II contains the annexes with approximately 1400 photographs, detailed maps and lists of the concerned watt ; volume III is a catalogue of the 206 watt having preserved ancient murals, or paintings on other supports - wood, canvas, glass or metal –, with roughly 500 photographs

Full textAbstract:
Threat perceptions or perceptions of national security are products of a
process involving various dimensions. This process involves a political and
bureaucratic process or a "structural dimension" through which foreign policy is
formulated. There are four main factors contributing to the formation of threat
perceptions and concepts of national security. First, decision-makers themselves
shape the concept of national security by influencing the formation of threat
perceptions. Second, geopolitical character differentiates threat perceptions
among states which have different geographical settings. For example,
archipelago states are likely to regard their neighbours' maritime activities as a
threat. A country like Thailand, which shares thousands of kilometres of
common borders with its neighbours cannot help but feel vulnerable to land-based
threats. Third, historical experience is another major dimension in the formation
process of threat perceptions. Fourth, the socio-cultural dimension which
comprises ethnic, religious and social values also influences threat perceptions.
Malaysian and Indonesian attitudes towards China are affected by the presence of
ethnic Chinese in their own countries, as well as by past experiences. These
variables will, to varying degrees, influence the conceptualisation of threat
perception and a state's view of its national security. Each state, like an
individual, will "perceive phenomena with varying degrees of fidelity and distortion". A state, henceforth, will react and behave according to its perception
of national security and will try to minimise those perceived threats.

Cette thèse cherche à montrer comment au Vietnam, l’architecture et l’urbanisme relèvent de la rencontre de deux cultures, celle du colonisateur et celle du colonisé. L’enjeu est de mettre en lumière la diversité des échanges culturels – expressions et significations – à travers le bâti, en procédant à une étude critique de l’idée selon laquelle l’architecture et l’urbanisme seraient uniquement des instruments du pouvoir colonial. Nous avons cherché à identifier les conditions de production et d’utilisation du bâti pour appréhender la complexité et la diversité des phénomènes à l’œuvre. Nous avons privilégié trois approches. La première concerne l’étude des acteurs et de la circulation des savoirs qui nous permet d’envisager les différents discours et théories qui ont existé autour de l’architecture métissée, ainsi que leur réception. La seconde prend en considération les politiques de gestion de l’espace urbain en s’attachant à mettre en valeur les négociations et les résistances au projet d’encadrement colonial. Enfin le troisième volet se place au niveau de l’articulation des enjeux techniques et sociaux et permet de mettre au jour les mécanismes constitutifs de cette architecture interculturelleThis dissertation aims to demonstrate how the history of architecture and town planning in Vietnam became enmeshed in the encounter of two cultures: that of the colonized and that of the colonizer. The goal is to first examine the diversity of cultural exchanges – both their manifestations and meanings – through the built environment, and then provide a critique of the idea equating architecture and colonial power. In order to consider the diversity and the complexity of the phenomenon at work, this dissertation identifies the conditions of production and use of the built environment. This study privileges three approaches. The first considers the actors and the circulation of knowledge so as to explore the construction and the reception of the different discourses and theories that enveloped hybrid architecture. The second approach takes into account the politics of administrating urban space by emphasizing the negotiations and the resistance to the colonial project of construction and enclosure. Finally the third part analyzes the articulations between social and technical issues, which reveal the mechanisms constitutive of this intercultural architecture

Dans l’Indochine coloniale, sous couvert de la « mission civilisatrice », les Français instaurent un système éducatif destiné à produire des subalternes, leur crainte étant de créer des « déclassés » menaçants pour l’ordre colonial. Pourtant, en dépit des résistances officielles, les élites vietnamiennes font entrer leurs enfants dans les lycées français réservés en principe aux Européens, s’appropriant en partie ces établissements.Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le Vietnam s’engage dans la voie de l’indépendance, obligeant les Français à repenser leur doctrine scolaire, qui, après avoir cru un moment que la France resterait « l’éducatrice de l’Indochine », se résolvent à un rôle d’accompagnement via la création d’une mission culturelle. Il n’est plus question de limiter l’accès des Vietnamiens aux lycées français mais au contraire de leur ouvrir les portes pour leur proposer un enseignement de haut niveau. La défaite française de Ði?n Biên Ph? en 1954, qui voit la France se désengager du Vietnam, accélère la mutation de l’ancien système éducatif colonial. En passant sous la tutelle des Affaires étrangères, l’enseignement français au Vietnam devient un instrument de la diplomatie culturelle. Les Français espèrent qu’une présence culturelle assurée notamment par leurs prestigieux lycées leur garantira une influence déterminante. Au Nord, dans la République Démocratique du Vietnam pro-soviétique, le Lycée Albert-Sarraut devient la seule école occidentale à fonctionner dans un État du bloc communiste, et permet aux Français de conserver en pleine Guerre froide un lien privilégié avec un pays considéré en Occident comme un ennemi. Cette expérience unique s’achève en 1965 faute d’entente entre Français et Nord-Vietnamiens sur la nature du lycée. Au Sud, dans la République du Vietnam nationaliste et pro-américaine, la situation reste plus longtemps favorable aux Français. Les élites vietnamiennes se pressent aux portes des lycées français, gages d’un enseignement de qualité et d’un meilleur avenir pour leurs enfants dans un pays en guerre. Pour les Français, cette attirance pour leurs écoles et pour la culture française leur permet de contrer l’influence grandissante des États-Unis, qui investissent lourdement dans la réforme de l’État sud-vietnamien et notamment dans celle du système éducatif. Cependant, les gouvernements sud-vietnamiens, pour des raisons politiques, décrètent à la fin des années 1960 la nationalisation progressive de ces écoles. Après la réunification en avril 1975, tous les établissements français sont rendus au Vietnam. Telle qu’il est raconté par l’histoire « officielle » des archives, le parcours du système d’enseignement français au Vietnam se termine donc par un échec. Au Nord comme au Sud, les satisfactions qu’en retirent les dirigeants français sont minimales. Les élites vietnamiennes ne se sont pas ralliées aux positions françaises. Culturellement, la francophonie au Vietnam régresse dès les années 1950.En revanche, pour la centaine d’anciens élèves que nous avons interrogés sur cette période de leur vie, le système d’enseignement français est décrit comme un véritable succès, en dépit de parcours familiaux et scolaires particulièrement tourmentés. Leur perception de l’école française est unanimement positive. Ils ont étudié au sein de ces établissements dans une ambiance pacifique, studieuse et égalitaireThis historical research traces the evolution of the French schools in Vietnam from 1945 to 1975, drawing from archives and interviews with former students and teachers. In colonial Indochina, under the guise of the "civilizing mission", the French established an educational system designed to produce only subordinates, as they feared that a better education would create individuals likely to threaten the colonial order. Yet, in spite of the resistance of colonial authorities, Vietnamese elites always managed to send their children to the local French schools that were, in principle, open only to Europeans.After World War II, Vietnam embarked on the path of independence, forcing the French to rethink their educational policy in a country that was no longer a colony. After believing for a while that France would remain "the educator of Indochina", the French accepted to play a supporting role in Vietnamese education through the creation of a cultural mission. There was no longer question of limiting access to French schools: rather, those schools opened their doors wide to Vietnamese students to offer them a high-quality education. The French defeat of Ði?n Bien Phu in 1954, which resulted in France’s political withdrawal from Vietnam, accelerated the transformation of the former colonial education system. Passing under the tutelage of Foreign Affairs, the French schools in Vietnam became an instrument of cultural diplomacy. The French hoped that their continuing cultural presence, and particularly their prestigious lycées, would grant them a decisive influence in Vietnamese affairs. In the North, in the pro-Soviet Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Lycée Albert-Sarraut became the only western school to operate in a communist nation, allowing the French to maintain a special relationship with a country that the West considered as an enemy. This unique experience was terminated in 1965 due to lack of agreement between the French and the North Vietnamese on the nature of the school. In the South, in the nationalist, pro-American Republic of Vietnam, the situation remained favorable to the French. Vietnamese elites rushed the gates of French schools, which promise them a quality education and a better future for their children in a war-torn country. For the French, the attractiveness of their schools and of French culture allowed them to counter the growing influence of the United States, who were then pushing ahead with reform, especially in the Vietnamese educational system. Nevertheless, the South Vietnamese government, for political reasons, decreed in the late 1960s the gradual nationalization of the French school system. After the Reunification of April 1975, all French schools were returned to the Vietnamese state. As told by the "official" history described in the archives, the story of the French educational system in Vietnam ends in failure. In both North and South Vietnam, French efforts in cultural diplomacy in Vietnam came to naught. Not only the Vietnamese elites did not concur with the French political positions, but the prominence of French language and culture actually decreased in Vietnam from the 1950s onwards.However, the hundred or so alumni we have interviewed about this period of their lives have described the French school system as a success

Full textAbstract:
Durant la guerre dite « d’Indochine » (1945-1954), plus de 20 000 combattants français, légionnaires et africains, sont portés « prisonniers et disparus ». Pour la majorité prisonniers de guerre (PG) de la République démocratique du Vietnam (RDV), ils sont soumis à un régime alimentaire et sanitaire qui, s’il est proche de celui des Vietnamiens, fait des ravages dans leurs rangs. Mais le rythme terrible des morts n’est pas le seul choc qui les attend en captivité, où ils se voient imposer une éducation politique visant à leur ouvrir les yeux sur la condition du prolétariat militaire qu’ils forment ainsi que sur celle du peuple vietnamien exploité par le colonialisme français. Désorientés par ces conditions de captivité, les PG voient leurs repères sociaux et moraux singulièrement mis à l’épreuve. Les PG se voient en effet contraints, pour survivre, de « jouer le jeu » de la propagande de leurs geôliers, enfreignant de ce fait leur devoir de soldat. Dans chaque camp, des microsociétés de captifs s’agrègent et se désagrègent, occasionnant entre eux d’importants clivages – encore sensibles aujourd’hui. Tous ensemble, ces éléments contribuent à assoir dès les années 1950 une analyse à charge de la captivité : les PG auraient été « exterminés » par leurs geôliers, fortement « soupçonnés » par leur hiérarchie après leur libération, et immédiatement « oubliés » de leurs compatriotes. Cette triple lecture – ici sensiblement nuancée – forge ainsi, pour les décennies à venir, les conditions de possibilité pour les anciens PG de la RDV de s’ériger en victimes.Mais l’expérience n’est pas également douloureuse chez tous les PG : au contact des Vietnamiens, ils deviennent également les sujets d’une expérience inter-nationale hors normes ; certains estiment même avoir retiré de cette expérience « une certaine vision enrichissante », à tout le moins font-ils part de leur soif de comprendre l’extraordinaire expérience qu’ils viennent de vivre. Pour les cadres militaires notamment, cette expérience est porteuse d’un premier « devoir de mémoire ». Plus jamais pareille défaite réclament ainsi nombre d’« anciens d’Indochine » basculant dans la « Guerre d’Algérie », modélisant « l’action psychologique » subie en captivité dans la perspective d’une « contre-insurrection » à la française. « Plus jamais ça ! » clament également nombre d’anciens PG, munis de la légitimité d’un anticommunisme empirique, pour condamner en France le mouvement de mai 1968, l’Union de la Gauche, ou les massacres commis au nom du marxisme ailleurs dans le monde. Pour certains, l’expérience de la captivité est même sublimée en une forme d’éthique pratique qui contribuera à conduire certains d’entre eux jusqu’aux plus hautes sphères, d’où ils participeront à initier le combat qui prendra son essor à partir des années 1980 pour la reconnaissance et la réparation des traumatismes subis par les PG de la RDV.Dans l’air du temps de la fin du XXe siècle, les témoins vont en effet mobiliser le traumatisme comme ressource pour la mobilisation initiée au nom de la mémoire de leur expérience. Le témoignage devient alors, tout à la fois, un matériau d’expertise historique avec la thèse de l’ancien PG R. Bonnafous en 1985, d’expertise médicolégale après l’adoption en 1989 du « statut de prisonnier du Viet-Minh », et d’expertise judiciaire lors de l’« affaire Boudarel ». La chute du bloc soviétique, l’affaissement du tiers-mondisme et de l’anticolonialisme et l’avènement de « l’ère de la victime », autorisent en effet les anciens PG de la RDV, dont le collectif s’institutionnalise et s’élargit avec la création en 1985 de l’ANAPI, à se reconnaître en tant que victimes et à travailler à être reconnus comme tels. Cette lecture victimaire de la captivité de guerre en Indochine offre au final la clé d’une patrimonialisation relative de leur expérience sur le mode paradigmatique de la mémoire des crimes et génocides nazis… le tout sur fond de réhabilitation de la colonisation françaiseDuring the Indochina war (1945-1954), more than 20,000 French combatants, legionnaires and Africans, are listed "prisoners and missing". Prisoners of war (POW) of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRVN) for the majority, they are subjected to a food and health regime that, if it is close to that of the Vietnamese, wreaks havoc in their ranks. But the terrible rhythm of the dead is not the only shock awaiting them in captivity, where they are forced to undergo a political education aimed at opening their eyes to the condition of the military proletariat they form, as well as to that of the Vietnamese people exploited by the French colonialism. Disorientated by these conditions of captivity, the POWs find their social and moral landmarks singularly put to the test. In order to survive, the POWs are forced to "play the game" of their jailers' propaganda, thereby violating their duty as soldiers. In each camp, captive micro-groups aggregate and disintegrate, causing important cleavages, still sensitive today, between them. This triple reading - here considered with nuance - thus forges, for decades to come, the conditions for the possibility of the former POWs of the DRVN becoming victims.But the experience is not as painful for all the POWs: when they come into contact with the Vietnamese, they also become subjects of an extraordinary international experience; some feel that they have even gained "a certain enriching vision" from this experience, at least they express their wish to understand the extraordinary experience they have just had. For officers in particular, this experience take the form of a first "duty to remember". Never again such defeats claim many Indochina veterans who fall into the "Algerian War", modeling "psychological action" suffered in captivity with the prospect of a French-style "counter-insurgency". "Never again!", claim many former POWs with the legitimacy of an empirical anti-communism, condemning, in France, the May 1968 movement, the "Union de la Gauche", or the massacres committed in the name of Marxism elsewhere in the world. For some, the experience of captivity is even sublimated into a form of practical ethics that will help to lead some of them to the highest political level, from where they will participate in initiating the fight that will take off from the 1980s onwards for the recognition and repair of the traumatisms suffered by the DRVN's POWs.In the spirit of the late twentieth century, witnesses mobilize trauma as a resource for mobilization initiated in the name of the memory of their experience. The testimony then becomes, at the same time, a material of historical expertise with the thesis of the former POW R. Bonnafous in 1985, of medico-legal expertise after the adoption in 1989 of the "prisoner of Viet Minh" status, and of judicial expertise during the "Boudarel affair". The fall of the Soviet Union, the collapse of the Third World and the anti-colonialism, and the advent of the "era of the victim", indeed, allow the former POWs of the DRVN, whose collective is institutionalised with the creation of the ANAPI in 1985, to recognize themselves as victims and to work to be recognized as such. This victimized reading of the war captivity in Indochina ultimately offers the key to a relative patrimonialization of their experience on the paradigmatic mode of memory of Nazi crimes and genocides... all against a background of the rehabilitation of the French colonization

This dissertation examines the latter stages of the Second Indochina War through the lens of geography, spatial contestation, and the environment. The natural and the manmade world were not only central but a decisive factor in the struggle to control the population and territory of South Vietnam. The war was shaped and in many ways determined by spatial / environmental factors. Like other revolutionary civil conflicts, the key to winning political power in South Vietnam was to control both the physical world (territory, population, resources) and the ideational world (the political organization of occupied territory). The means to do so was insurgency and pacification - two approaches that pursued the same goals (population and territory control) and used the same methods (a blend of military force, political violence, and socioeconomic policy) despite their countervailing purposes. The war in South Vietnam, like all armed conflicts, possessed a unique spatiality due to its irregular nature. Although it has often been called a "war without fronts," the reality is that the conflict in South Vietnam was a war with innumerable fronts, as insurgents and counterinsurgents feverishly wrestled to win political power and control of the civilian environment throughout forty-four provinces, 250 districts, and more than 11,000 hamlets. The conflict in South Vietnam was not one geographical war, but many; it was a highly complex politico-military struggle that fragmented space and atomized the battlefield along a million divergent points of conflict. This paper explores the unique spatiality of the Second Indochina War and examines the ways that both sides of the conflict conceptualized and utilized geography and the environment to serve strategic, tactical, and political purposes.

Full textAbstract:
Il n’existe pas, à proprement parler, une histoire des Français de l’étranger. La définition même de ce terme reste floue et connaît de nombreuses variantes selon les auteurs qui se sont penchés sur le sujet ; ces derniers sont d’ailleurs rarement des historiens. Autre constat, le concept de présence française recouvre une multitude de réalités. C’est un terme polysémique qui n’a pas encore reçu, chez les historiens du moins, de définition claire et précise. Pour explorer ces pistes, il a semblé que Hong Kong dans l’entre-deux-guerres était un terrain propice.C’est une parenthèse active sur un territoire aux influences multiples ; la colonie britannique est aux portes de la Chine, voisine de l’Indochine, et elle connaît des développements et des remous nombreux entre 1918 et1941.L’ambition de ce travail est d’assembler les différentes formes de la présence française, souvent étudiées individuellement dans d’autres cadres chronologiques ou géographiques, pour offrir un tableau complet de ce que signifie réellement ce terme et réfléchir aux concepts contemporains de Français de l’étranger et de culture tierce. Au regard des spécificités géographiques et politiques de Hong Kong dans l’entre-deux-guerres, en quoi peut-on dire que la colonie britannique joue un rôle particulier pour la France, et qu’à ce titre, elle est un observatoire privilégié de la vie des Français de l’étranger à cette époque ? Cette interrogation cache évidemment de multiples articulations car la présence française suppose l’existence d’une communauté vivante et hétérogène, mais aussi une implantation purement matérielle et parfois abstraiteStrictly speaking, the History of French people abroad does not exist. The meaning of this term in itself is quite vague and there are lots of variations, depending on the scholars who may have flown over this subject; seldom are they historians. Another significant aspect is that the notion of French presence also covers many different realities. It is a polysemous term which, as yet, has never been given a clear and proper definition yet, at least among historians. In order to explore those tracks, using Hong Kong during interwar period as a search field was thought to be relevant.It is an active parenthesis on a territory animated by multiple influences; the British colony is on China’s doorstep, a neighbour of Indochina, and it has known quite a number of developments and upheavals between 1918and 1941.The purpose of this work is to gather different forms of the French presence, often studied separately and individuallyin other geographical and historic contexts, in order to offer a complete picture of what this concept really means. This is an opportunity to debate on the contemporary notions of fFrench people abroad and Third Culture. Because of the geographical and political specificities of Hong Kong during the interwar period, in what way can we consider that the British colony is playing a particular role for France in the area ? And, on this basis, how can it be considered a privileged observatory of the life of French people abroad at that time? Those questions are obviously hiding many others because French presences suppose the existence of a lively and heterogeneous community, but also a material and sometimes abstract implantation
