📅 9 Mart 1945 📍 Vietnam

Japanese forces launched a coup against the French administration, disarming French troops and ending the arrangement under which Vichy France had administered Indochina under Japanese pressure. Japan then encouraged nominally independent governments in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The upheaval weakened French colonial control and opened a brief, contested political space before Japan’s surrender.
