[edit] turning point

It's short, well done and worth a further development of this turning point, from a French colonial war to a civil war. It may be a template of ensuing colonial war in politology.

with the chinese sending 2 artillery battalions and the US sending CIA pilots at the battle of dien bien phu you can call it cold war too. Paris By Night 10:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official language

I think the official name of this country was l'Etat du Vietnam and the official language was French and not Vietnamese. 207.178.224.50 22:53, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

dunno about that. Paris By Night 21:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] politics

Why is Ngo Dinh Diem listed as Prime Minister? He was the last Prime Minister, but not the only one. Is it the rule in these cases to only list the last? Nguyen Van Xuan was the first Prime Minister so he should be mentioned I would think. 216.183.34.167 09:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

actually the article deserves a complete section about politics and a list of its governments like in the viet version. Paris By Night 21:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] government chart

Thứ tự	Tên	Từ	Đến	Chức vụ
	Nguyễn Văn Xuân	27 tháng 5, 1948	14 tháng 7, 1949	Thủ tướng lâm thời
1	Bảo Đại	14 tháng 7, 1949	21 tháng 1, 1950	Kiêm nhiệm Thủ tướng
2	Nguyễn Phan Long	21 tháng 1, 1950	27 tháng 4, 1950	Thủ tướng
3	Trần Văn Hữu	6 tháng 5, 1950	3 tháng 6, 1952	Thủ tướng
4	Nguyễn Văn Tâm	23 tháng 6, 1952	7 tháng 12, 1953	Thủ tướng
5	Bửu Lộc	11 tháng 1, 1954	16 tháng 6, 1954	Thủ tướng
6	Ngô Đình Diệm	16 tháng 6, 1954	23 tháng 10, 1955	Thủ tướng

can anyone could translate this? who is the first one ("lam thoi"?), I believe bao is entitled emperor (whats "Kiem Nhiem"?), about the others they are probably prime ministers ("Thu tuong"?). Paris By Night 21:32, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

done, thanks to myself. Paris By Night 15:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] actual map

the current map was imported from the republic of vietnam article and is not the actual map of the 1949-1954 state of vietnam which ruled over the united vietnam pet the Halong Bay Agreements. a new map is requested, as simple as the cureent vietnam map with another color than red. Paris By Night 15:43, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

done. Paris By Night 19:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

actually a 2 frames animated GIF should be produced, first frame (about whole vietnam) with "1949-1954 borders" as caption and a second one (about south vietnam) with "1954-1955 boders". i have no time to do it by now. Paris By Night 20:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
