In 1887, France created a colonial system in modern-day Vietnam,

claiming it as part of "French Indochina." Colonial rule would endure for over six decades, and during this time, the French used Indochina for their own economic interests. They claimed the area's exports as their own, imposed heavy taxes on the native population, and created a small class of wealthy Vietnamese people who benefitted from the new economic system — pushing most impoverished people into difficult work as day laborers. France eventually pulled out of Vietnam in 1954 when they were defeated by the Viet Minh. But peace would be a long way off, as continued unrest set the stage for the devastating Vietnam War.
