Hello,
I have a quick question about the Franco-Chinese war. Was there much partisan action?
I find it very difficult to find non-French sources on the subject given I don't speak vietnamese or chinese.
From what I gather, facing the French were conscripts who ran as soon as they approached and Black Flags which were basically an overpumped Chinese Army black ops.
What I can't find is how the population reacted to the conquest. What I find is that they were happy to be liberated but that's from a French source of 1886 so I'm taking that with a lot of salt.
Anybody with more info?
