Excerpt from La Question du Tonkin
L'auteur de la France nouvelle, jetant ses regards inquiets sur l'avenir du monde, constatait avec tristesse le formidable ac croissement de la race anglo-saxonne et se demandait quelle pourrait être, dans l'état futur du globe, la part de notre nation prédisent, avec une perspicacité qui devait lui coûter la vie et priver le pays de son talent et de ses lumières, le triomphe, au moins momentané, des armes allemandes, il montrait à la patrie vaincue, comme un instrument de son relèvement, comme un nouvel organe de sa grandeur, cet empire colonial, ces belles provinces africaines fé coudées par notre sang et par notre or, arra.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history of the French protectorate in Annam, a region known today as northern Vietnam. The author traces the origins of French influence in the region, from early diplomatic missions in the 1600s to the establishment of a protectorate in the late 1800s. Through a detailed examination of treaties, correspondence, and firsthand accounts, the book sheds light on the political, economic, and cultural factors that shaped the relationship between France and Annam. The author argues that the French protectorate was a flawed and ultimately unsustainable arrangement, marked by paternalism, economic exploitation, and cultural misunderstandings. However, the book also explores the positive aspects of French influence, such as the introduction of modern infrastructure and education. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced and engaging account of a complex and often overlooked chapter in the history of Southeast Asia.
