Abstract

In late August 1945, after Japan©s sudden collapse ended World War II, Chinese forces marched into northern Vietnam to take the Japanese surrender there. They would not leave again for more than a year. Drawing on extensive Vietnamese and French archival and newspaper research, this note discusses relations between Chinese forces, local Vietnamese (including the new Vietnam government and its adherents), and Chinese residents in northern Vietnam during this brief but trying interlude between the Second World War and the First Indochina War.
