vietnam first became a french colony when france invaded in 1858. by the 1880s, the french had expanded their sphere of influence in southeast asia to include all of vietnam, and by 1893 both laos and cambodia had become french colonies as well. rebellions against french colonial power were common up to world war i. the european war heightened revolutionary sentiment in southeast asia, and the independence-minded population rallied around revolutionaries such as hồ chí minh and others, including royalists.
