That bringing artillery up the hills through the jungle was not possible.

They heavily underestimated their enemies
Dominic Davis
Or overestimated the forest
Both work

You are telling me that the vietcong be like carrying the artillery through the jungles and mountains?

Why not just give them the independence with commercial conditions and leaving a military base?
Landon Jackson
Because French people are typically quite arrogant and incompetent.
They brought Ho Chi Minh to Paris for negotiations and then jerked him around for several months while the war continued in Vietnam and several consecutive French governments collapsed.
Luis Williams
Brody Martin
Why not just execute him while he's in Paris and watch the Viet Cong collapse?
The French are way too honorable, they should learn from the Eternal Anglo

Vo Nyugen Giap would probably still have kicked their asses, and then they wouldn't have been able to squeeze the Evian Accords out of the Algerians.
Nicholas Howard
>and then they wouldn't have been able to squeeze the Evian Accords out of the Algerians.
Who cares
France was winning militarily in Algeria
De Gaulle gave them independence in hope it would prevent mass immigration to mainland France, but seeing how that turned out France didn't really benefit from it
Luis Reyes
Learn what exactly? I fail to see a relevant situation

Treachery and deviousness

But the Anglos have never invited enemies in then slain them.
Besides the French should copy their ability to win colonial wars :^)

They'd often capture all officials, merchant ships and civilans from a country they plan to decalre war on present in Britain few days before declaring war tho

Yeah, because this riot sure was comparable to the Viet insurection
20,000 faggots chimping out in town vs half a million gooks in the jungle

Wyatt White
Imagine Jean-Froncois Grenouille explaining to former SS Hans Müller, vet of the Ardennes Offensive, that everything will be fine cause Viets can't being artillery through the forest
Brody Young
because the fact that they got fucked six embarrassing ways to sunday in 1940 made them feel like they needed to redeem themselves as a great power.
Jose Howard
I wish France was still Gaullist
Hudson Lopez
because they quit nato for this

Yes, that's totally what's going to happen, and there's no way you'd be creating a martyr whose memory will only further strenghten the enemys will to fight.

> only not called a war so businesses could profit
>a riot
Good one user, you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I suppose that's why you stopped replying.
If there was anything perfidious done it would be the whole "it's not a war" thing.
>detained officials
Literally, when?
Jace Smith
>I will silence there artillery after the first round
Hunter Rogers
Well they lerned from this since they did it afterward with almost every single one of their African colony.
Jace Russell
They severely underestimated the enemy, also they were kinda abandoned there even after the position was deemed unsafe because French politicians just wanted to abandon Indochina at this point anyway.
Adrian Hughes

legit kek
Xavier Rogers
It's even more inexcusable that the French did this after 8 years of pretty fucking brutal combat with the Viet Minh. They of all people should have understood how fanatically determined Giap was to see them defeated.
Tyler Jones
>Leave the Viet Minh to me
Nathan Garcia
They were looking for the lost city of Z.
