Liberation of Indochina

The Liberation of Indochina was a rebellion by French forces in French Indochina against the remnants of the Japanese army that were stationed in Indochina following the agreement made on 9 December, 1940. Governor Jean Decoux led a rebellion internally which was swiftly supported by commando forces from the French State itself to free the colony of the Japanese army.
The rebellion by French troops against the Japanese saw the rare support of the United States Air Force which was also engaged in a war with Japan. The move by the French to re-take the colony put them in conflict with the native rebels who wished for independence, especially the Communist Việt Minh. After the Liberation's success the First Indochina War began, which saw France come into conflict with the Communist Việt Minh, Monarchist Lao Issara, and left-wing Khmer Issarak.
