 Cathechism
Arriving in Tonkin and Cochinchina on Portuguese ships, and presented to the lords of the two countries with great reverence by the Portuguese merchants and military officers, de Rhodes and his fellow missionaries would have had a difficult time distinguishing themselves from their compatriots, at least in the eyes of the local authorities.
During his one year and a half stay in Cochinchina, de Rhodes' apostolic activities were rather meager, his main occupation being the study of the language.
Already in 1620, the Jesuits in Cochinchina had already produced a catechism in Vietnamese written in chu nom, that is, the popular or demotic script in which Chinese characters are borrowed and altered to render the meaning of the Vietnamese words.

After eighteen months of missionary work in Cochinchina, during which time de Rhodes learned the Cochinchinese-Tonkinese or Vietnamese language and familiarized himself with the religions, customs, and government of the country, he was recalled by his superiors to Macao, in preparation for a move in 1627 to Tonkin.
Because of his accomplishment in transcribing the language, which influenced the cultural development of Cochinchina and Tonkin in various significant ways, making it possible, for example, for the Vietnamese to interact more easily with European countries, using the Latin alphabet, 10 de Rhodes is even now remembered and highly esteemed in Vietnam.

In Cochinchina, up until surfacing in April 1945, the ICP continued to operate largely underground and without much regard for the Viet Minh mantle; in Annam and Tonkin, however, all ICP undertakings were given Viet Minh identity.

The author is especially good at reconstructing the complex seventeenth-century Asian trading world in which the Vietnamese south ("Cochinchina," the "Inner Region") was deeply involved, in contrast to the more agrarian Vietnamese north.
She proposes that the trade, far from being filtered through a court monopoly as in the north, spread to Cochinchina commoners, creating a high local standard of living.

Cambodia is interested in Geneva Conference for two reasons, In the first place she has been involved in the war against Viet-Minh, who, having spread insecurity in her territory, have recently invaded one of her provinces in the North.
It is not possible to use this argument even basing it on the apparent passivity of the Cambodian sovereigns during the periods of internal troubles and during the French Protectorate.
Cochinchina (south viet-nam) cannot therefore be compared with Louisiana, ceded by France to the United States in 1803, nor with Alaska ceded by Russia to United States in 1867, nor with the Carolinas ceded by spain to Germany in 1899.

 1861 French Conquest of Saigon: Battle of the Ky Hoa Forts
France had displayed an often fickle interest in Vietnam for more than two centuries, especially in the southern region of Cochinchina, which was made up of the six rich but sparsely inhabited provinces the Vietnamese had seized from the neighboring kingdom of Cambodia.
Yet Cochinchina managed to produce a large surplus of rice that was vital to the rest of Vietnam.
This large earth-and-masonry fort, the most important in Cochinchina, was located about 800 meters from the Saigon River (just to the southwest of what is now the National Zoo) and on the south side of Thi Nghe Creek.

 Balance of payment of Vietnam under French rule
In Cochinchina, native population civil status appeared as early as 1883, in consequence of a decree that introduced compulsory registration of births, weddings and deaths by local authorities.
Despite of hard penal measures (in case of absence or misrepresentation) and of a control by authorities, the figures provided were not entirely satisfactory and do not account for regular kept registers in all of the provinces.
In addition, Catholic missions, by their involvement in ceremonies such as christenings, weddings or burials, provide complementary information on vital rates that can be used to improve and reconstruct data on Annam and Tonkin.
