I've not got access, but this looks like a good source: Hughes, Geraint (September 2006). "A 'Post-war' War: The British Occupation of French-Indochina, September 1945-March 1946". Small Wars & Insurgencies. 17 (3). Taylor & Francis: 263–286. doi:10.1080/09592310600671596. ISSN 1743-9558. Fences&Windows 16:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Would Operation Masterdom be a better title? I don't think that the British occupation and this conflict is generally known as a "War in Vietnam"; this is a little misleading to the reader. Fences&Windows 16:31, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of sources (like the one that you gave) refers to this as "War", so there should have no problem with the title. Moreover, France and Japan also fought in this conflict. Did the French and Japanese call this "Operation Masterdom"? You never learn (talk) 05:26, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copy-paste?

Look at this: [1] --Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 22:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cluttered infobox

Should the infobox be as cluttered as this? It has a whole paragraph within. ChristiaandeWet (talk) 23:36, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnam?

The title says War in Vietnam surely this should say War in Indochina (1945-46) as Vietnam did not exist as a nation.ChristiaandeWet (talk) 22:12, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Viêt Minh declared their rebel state to be Vietnam, and the word had long been used for that country within French Indochina, which had a very old history. It had been Vietnam before. This would be like saying that the Netherlands "did not exist" during WW2 because they were not politically independent at the time. Harsimaja (talk) 14:48, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Viet Minh will fail if British troops stay?

In reality, the British army only chased the Viet Minh out of the cities and some suburbs such as Saigon or Bien Hoa, but the jungles and swamps in the Mekong Delta still did not. We need to know that they were attacked. Losing cities was not a big problem for the Viet Minh

In Malaysia insurgency,

-Most communists are chinese so did not popular.

-In terms of military numbers, the Viet Minh has about a few hundred thousand troops but Malaysian communist just has 8000 troops.Ways to fight against guerrillas using special forces are almost ineffective when considering the number of troops and the sophisticated organization of the Viet Minh.(http://indochine54.free.fr/vm/early.html#top)

-The British succeeded with strategic hamlets, but the French and Americans both failed to apply strategic hamlets

-The British used Malay troops and police to confront the guerrillas.The French have the Vietnamese National Army and the Americans have ARVN

-The British army has one thing in common with the American army and the French army.There were massacres

-There is an important factor that is that the Malaysian guerrillas did not have support like the Viet Minh even though the Viet Minh only received support at the end of 1949.
