1867
Set of handwritten documents between Admiral de la Grandière, governor of Cochinchine and the Minister of Colonies for the annexation of the three provinces of Vinh-Long, Chaudoc and Hatien.
In 1867 the Governor of Cochinchine annexed, under duress, the three provinces of Vinh-Long, Chaudoc and Hatien and substituted the domination of France for that of the Kingdom of Annam. He justified the annexation by the non-respect of the 1862 treaty, by provocations, permanent insurrection, blockades and looting by military leaders invested by the Annamite government of Emperor Tu Duc. These annexations, decided unilaterally by Vice-Admiral de la Grandière, were not ordered by Paris and caused great concern to the French Government. It should be noted that the mail arrived in Saigon after a month's journey.
