  Cochinchina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cochinchina, from Cochin China (known locally as Nam Kỳ, meaning "southern region"), in French: Cochinchine) is a name for the southernmost part of Vietnam, lying southeast of Cambodia.
Cochinchina was never a single united administrative unit until the French seized it in the 1850s.
It ceased to exist in 1949 and the short-lived state of South Vietnam (1953 - 1975) was not a recreation of Cochinchina as it controlled half of the former French administrative unit of Annam in addition to Cochinchina.

Since the United States did not act where a Philippine claim could have been made, this indicates that there was no ground for a challenge of French rights on behalf of the Philippines.

The rather complicated political situation in Cochinchina made this easier as the Viet Minh, whose power base lay in far away Tonkin, was a relatively minor nationalist group in the south.
By the end of World War 2, they were in fact the main nationalist group in Cochinchina and, in order to play down their association with the Japanese, decided to side with the Viet Minh, then a weak force which they thought would be easily manipulated.
Cochinchina in the 1920s and 1930s featured a criminal underworld based in and around the marshy lowlands southeast of Cholon.

The former French colony of Cochinchina was established in territory belonging to Cambodia.
Despite strong Cambodian protests, the Cochinchina territory which had been illegally acquired by the French as a possession obtained from a party who was not their owner, was ceded to Viet-Nam by France as a result of a unilateral decision and a French legislative act.
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.

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.
De Rhodes was also familiar by this time with the methods of the religious and philosophical leaders in Cochinchina and Tonkin; he knew how heavily the Confucian apologists in particular relied on logical, systematic reasoning in their philosophical and theological disputations, and he knew how to confute their arguments, using the same technique.

In Phnom Penh, Sihanouk, acting as head of state, was placed in the extremely delicate position of negotiating with the French for full independence while trying to neutralize party politicians and supporters of the Khmer Issarak and Viet Minh who considered him a French collaborator.
While it recognized him as the "spiritual head of the state," it reduced him to the status of a constitutional monarch, and it left unclear the extent to which he could play an active role in the politics of the nation.

The U.S. set out to build an anti-communist state in South Vietnam in direct violation of the Geneva Accords, though at the time it was not clear at all whether it would succeed in its efforts.
The nation that the U.S. built in South Vietnam during the 1950s was a brutal, corrupt dictatorship around the Diem family–very similar to the Duvaliers in Haiti, the Somoza family in Nicaragua and the Marcoses in the Philippines.
As opposition grew to Diem in the late 1950s, he increased the repression symbolized by Law 10/59 that allowed the Saigon government to jail any oppositionists under the allegation of "communist activity." By 1960, Diem’s regime was so corrupt, isolated and hated by the mass of the population that widespread opposition began to emerge.
