The war may be a blessing in disguise for Vietnam. Having suffered a prolonged war for almost 1 century and 1 decade, it now tracks the sale of imperialism Vietnam to invite tourists.
France colonized Vietnam from the 19th century, the year 1858 until the year 1954. French troops led Rigault de Genoully, by order of Napoleon III, Da Nang Harbor attack. Although the attack had failed to successfully destroy the city.
From there, the attack continues to Gia Dinh City aka Saigon now called Ho Chi Minh City. From there, the French managed to master the 6 provinces in the Mekong River region.
Until finally, on August 30, 1945 revolution was launched Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam communist father who was called Bac Ho (Uncle Ho), and the Viet Minh. Revolution had succeeded in making the last Vietnamese King, Bao Dai, off the throne.
Resistance waged by the resistance until the Geneva Agreement was signed in July 1954. France agreed to leave from Vietnam.
1st century colonialism that left a mark. French-style buildings appeared at some point in Ho Chi Minh City. For example, in District 1.
In Hai Ba Trung Street, stands the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Cathedral area of 35 x 93 square meters, has a twin bell towers reaching 58 feet high.
Marseilles original bricks that make up the cathedral since 1877 still show original color, red. In front of him, a statue of the Virgin Mary standing with grace. Rose as high as 4.2 meters, the statue made of Italian marble that weighs 8.5 tons.
On its western side, there is the central Post Office with French style too. Built in 1886, the front carved the names of French scientists such as Ampere, Voltage, Focault, and others.
Not only the building, a street near Notre Dame there was a smell of France. There Pasteur Street, like in Bandung, and Alexandre de Rhodes Street.
Look also Reunification Hall, the Road Nam Ky Khoi Nghia. Stand on an area of 15 hectares, designed buildings French architect who also designed Hong Kong’s city hall, Hermite, originally was the home of Governor-General of France.
Unfortunately, the building was bombed during the Vietnam war with the United States (U.S.) to understand the communists burned in 1962. However, in 1972-1976 the building was renovated by the architect of Vietnam, Ngo Viet Thu.
“The original building is much more beautiful than a new building,” said the guide native 808 I-ring Gathering Partners, Le Chau, when the group visited there, Thursday (21/8/2008).
The building, when the Vietnam War, U.S., Vietnam occupied the president’s family. War plans and strategies were discussed in this Reunification Hall.

However, when North Vietnam and South Vietnam united in 1976, the name Reunification Hall pinned.
“France colonized Vietnam for its natural resources exploited. Colonize the U.S. for political purposes. To understand communism did not spread, the U.S. attacked Vietnam because it could target China and Russia to the north, through Laos and Cambodia,” Chau said.
Since the central government moved to Hanoi, northern Vietnam, this building used for overnight guests of the state.
