Fontainebleau Agreements

The Fontainebleau Agreements was an agreement between the France and the Vietminh made before the outbreak of the First Indochina War. The agreements affiliated Vietnam under the French Union. At these meetings Ho Chi Minh pushed for Vietnamese independence but the French would not agree to this proposal.

When the Vietnamese government wrote a draft constitution without reference to the French they attempt to regain control of their colony causing the outbreak of the Franco-Vietminh War.
