Why was Vietnam really colonized by France?

What happens if: you are delusional to new technology and weaponry. Persecute Christians. AND have France peaking at you with imperial ambition? - A different perspective on why Vietnam was colonized by France.

Why was Vietnam successfully expanding territory and defending itself for 2000 years just to lose to a rather small French invasion?

Anne Nguyen, a member of the Vietnamese diaspora has just been elected in Québec. She is the first Vietnamese person to be elected to Québec's Assemblée Nationale.

Her party, the Parti Québécois, was also leading Québec in 1978 and was the first provincial government in Canada to open its arms to Vietnamese refugees in Canada, demanding that 200 refugees from the Hai Hong be resettled in Québec. Later the same government would demand that 10 000 refugees fleeing Southeast Asia be resettled in Québec when Canada opened the door for 50 000 SEA refugees to come here.

As a result, Québec has the third largest community of Viet-Kieu in Canada while Montréal has the second largest urban Viet-Kieu community in Canada.

The new Premier of Québec, Paul Saint-Pierre-Plamondon, actually worked to rebuild the ties between the Viet-Kieu community in Québec and his party in the past year. They came to the Montreal Cho Tet during the last two years and asked if they could be present at the Communauté Vietnamienne de Montréal's 30/4 commemorations this year to speak with the Vietnamese community. They were allowed to be present there where they spoke to us.

As for Anne Nguyen, she's a Harvard Graduate that is specialized in AI and was the director in charge of AI related questions in Québec's Council of Innovation before going into politics. She will be in charge of ensuring Québec's numeric sovereignty.

The Baby Boom of 1975

By 1975, South Vietnam was facing a baby boom due to improved medical care leading to the decline in infant mortality. This population boom led to some challenges the Republic had slated to tackle head on in the UN in the summer of 1975. Unfortunately, it was never to be.

The fact that a baby boom ever happened in South Vietnam and was one of the main issues the country was facing near the end speaks volumes of the efforts and success South Vietnam had in improving the welfare of their people.
