Origines de la Conquête du Tong-Kin Depuis l'Expédition de Jean Jusqu'à la Mort de Henri Rivière - Softcover
Synopsis
In "Origins of the Conquest of the Tong-Kin by the French", the author traces the history of French involvement in the region that would become French Indochina. He begins by recounting the travels of French merchant Jean Dupuis, who in 1868, set out to explore the largely uncharted Red River. Dupuis's journey took him through a region rife with political unrest and ethnic tensions, as well as a complex history of Chinese and Vietnamese rule. Despite the challenges, Dupuis forged alliances and gained the trust of local communities, laying the groundwork for increased French presence in the region. His experiences, as the author demonstrates, reveal the complex entanglement of trade, diplomacy, and colonial expansion that characterized the European "Scramble for Africa" and Asia in the 19th century, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in that era and its lasting impact.
