Creation of colonial Cochinchina

For complex reasons, the French government of Napoleon III decided to take over the southern part of Vietnam. In September 1858 France occupied Da Nang (Tourane). On 18 February 1859 they conquered Saigon and three southern Vietnamese provinces: Bien Hoa, Gia Dinh and Dinh Tuong; on 13 April 1862 the Vietnamese government was forced to cede those territories to France.
From the link above:
'In 1867 the provinces of Chau Doc, Ha Tien and Vinh Long were added to French controlled territory. And in 1864 all the French territories in southern Vietnam were declared to be the new French colony of Cochinchina.

In 1887 it became part of the Union of French Indochina. In 1933 the Spratly islands were annexed to French Cochinchina. On 28 July 1941, imperial Japanese troops were based in French Cochinchina (de facto occupation), followed on 9 March 1945 by formal Japanese occupation till 15 August 1945. 16 May 1945 - 1946 it was nominally part of the Empire of Vietnam.

On 14 June 1949 Cochinchina became part of the (Associated) State of Vietnam.'
