Indochina Campaign (Pacific War) (Napoleon's World)

The Indochina Campaign of the Pacific War refers to the battles fought in Southeast Asia between the Allied Powers (primarily Siam, Burma and Bengal) against the Asian Powers (primarily Vietnam and China). The majority of this campaign was contested in the vassal state of Cambodia, which had long been contested between the kingdoms of Siam and Vietnam, as well as throughout the northern territories of all the involved Indochinese countries. The campaigns resulted in an overwhelming defeat for the Vietnamese by early 1927, and killed an estimated 8 million people in Cambodia, Vietnam and Siam, mainly through famine and disease. The defeat of the Siamese at the hands of China at Hanoi on March 4, 1928 led to their withdrawal from the conflict.
