After the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII, World War II Allies including U.S., Britain, and Soviet Union, hold the Potsdam Conference in Germany to plan the post-war world. Vietnam was considered a minor item on the agenda. During the conference, representatives from France request the return of all French pre-war colonies in Southeast Asia (Indochina). Their request was granted. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia would once again become French colonies following the removal of the Japanese.
