Overview:

Since November 1944, tension had been on the rise between the Japanese occupation troops and the Indochina government. French and Japanese troops were spread all over the country and their positions intertwined. As early as the end of February, the French intelligence service uncovered a plan for a general attack over the whole of Indochina at the end of the Tet celebrations. But the administration remained unconcerned and, when the French garrisons were attacked at 2015 on 9 March, surprise was total.
