	Franco-Chinese War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Franco-Chinese War was a war fought between the French Third Republic and Qing Empire that lasted from September 1884 to June 1885.
		During this operation, the Chinese laid siege to the fortress of Tuyen Quang, leading to its celebrated defense by a battalion of the French Foreign Legion.
		This resulted in the expansion of the war, as France blockaded the Keelung and Tamsui harbors of Taiwan and conducted an amphibious operation against Qing forces on the island.

	French Indochina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During World War II, the USA had supported the Viet Minh in resistance against the Japanese; the group was in control of the country apart from the cities since the French gave way in March 1945.
		Immediately this allowed Japan better access to China in the Sino-Japanese War, against the forces of Chiang Kai-shek, but it was also part of Japan's strategy of domination of the Pacific Ocean, helped greatly by the success of its ally Germany in defeating Pacific powers the Netherlands (see Dutch East Indies) and France.
		After the war, France attempted to reassert itself in the region, but came into conflict with the Viet Minh, an organization of Communist Vietnamese nationalists under French-educated Ho Chi Minh.

	Vietnam: A Critical Viewpoint
		The war was not particularly different from earlier imperialist actions, such as the Pilipino-Amerikan War (1899-02); however, its recency is a stark reminder of the darkness which continues to dominate the very soul of western civilization.
		An understanding of this war is critical for modern Amerikan politicians, as it demonstrates that even with modern technology, it remains extremely difficult to conquer and subjugate a foreign population.
		The so-called “Vietnam War” was a tragedy, as are all wars.

	Francisco Franco - Stormfront White Nationalist Community
		James Michener in Iberia, 1968, page 547: "...Generalísimo Franco is highly regarded by Jews; during the worst days of World War II, when pressures from Hitler were at their heaviest, Franco refused to issue anti-Jewish edicts and instead provided a sanctuary, never violated, for Jews who managed to make it to Spain.
		"Franco's ancestors were "Marranos", Spanish Jews who converted to Christianity during the Middle Ages under threat of death or persecution.
		This post is in no way meant to be negative toward Franco; I think he was a great man who did so much.

	Military History Editorial February 2004
		However much Americans may dismiss French martial abilities today, it might only be fair to remember that when the United States came to France's aid in World War I, its armed forces went to the front on French transports and its airmen flew into battle in French-built Nieuport, Spad, Breguet and Salmson aircraft.
		But while Americans may criticize the French for their failure in Indochina (a place where the United States, in the long run, fared no better), Korean War veterans of the U.S. Army's 2nd Infantry Division may remember how stoutly Lt. Col.
		One wonders, 225 years later, how many Americans remember the time when the United States and France were friends, as Presidents George W. Bush and Jacques Chirac bicker over how to deal with Iraq, and the Internet abounds with editorial comments on how treacherous and cowardly the French are.

	German Military Mission to China 1927-1938
		Chinese observers of the Franco-Prussian war, such as the influential journalist Wang T'ao, who wrote the "Record of the Franco-Prussian War" (P'u Fa Chan Chi) for his Chinese audience, and other individuals such as Li Hung Chang, Chang Chih Tung, Liu Kun-I, provided excellent first hand accounts of German military capabilities.
		As many Chinese saw things, Germany was a relatively small nation, which had a very well trained and equipped military force and it was now able to project its economic and political influences throughout the world.
		During the last years of the German Military Mission to China, an agreement was reached whereby Germany was obliged to train 20 infantry divisions by 1937/1938; the whole Chinese army, navy and air force by the early 1940's.

		The historical legacy in Sino-Japanese relations was further highlighted by the incident last August in Qiqihar, northeastern China, where Japanese abandoned chemical weapons (ACW) left over from World War II killed several Chinese residents.
		Indeed, the lingering suspicion has only been reinforced from time to time by the actions of right-wing Japanese politicians and groups, epitomized in some Japanese government officials' (especially prime ministers and cabinet members) visits to the Yasukuni Shrine where 14 Class A war criminals are buried among the 2.5 million dead.
		There are historical and geostrategic reasons, as well as territorial disputes, for continued suspicion and misgivings toward each other.
