Abstract
Indochina occupies a crossroads location where the two great Asian cultural traditions-Chinese and Indian-have clashed head-on, giving rise to a new Indo-Chinese culture. Indochina as a political unit, however, was the creation of French colonial administrators in the 19th century1. The cultural, historical, and political separatism within this unit has remained so strong that the imposed French unification, which lasted for almost a century, fell apart into separate and independent political units. This separation occurred in 1954 as a result of the Geneva Agreements. At that time the four countries of Cambodia, Laos, North Vietnam, and South Vietnam were created out of former French Indochina. In 1976, North and South Vietnam were united into one country.
