Did France influence Vietnamese culture in any way?

John Adams
Probably not
Jaxon Butler
Made them adopt the latin script
Camden Price
Yes.
>Tons of basic words e.g. automobile, coffee, etc.
>A fuckton of cuisine influences
>entire political and educated class was once french-speaking, french-educated and most military leaders in the wars were french-trained
>Turned the country into literal neo-feudalism and landlordism which set the stage for the century of war between different groups
french culture is alright, but french colonial government was a mistake. they assumed we're just dumb colonials and had to leave.
Jayden Perez
their only contribution was sandwiches obviously
Jason Diaz
>A fuckton of cuisine influences
Like what? Isn't Vietnamese cuisine just a subset of Chinese cuisine?
Juan Sanchez
Yep thanks to your bullshit in 1945, there was a strong attempt to erase all French influence. Literally every single group including hardcore catholic fanatics like Diem hated the french with a passion.
also one of the few countries that eat snails and frog-legs outside of france.
William Howard
There are strong cultual bonds yes, but it's marginal, localized. Some administative legacy. Also France is a major investor.

Bentley Long
holy fuck this american education.
>chinese cuisine just deep-fried, sauce heavy
>vietnamese cuisine is subtle, springy, and fresh, with much different ingredients.
Noah Wood
The USA arguably has more influence in Vietnam than France. Most of my Vietnamese friends didn't even know France controlled Vietnam
Xavier Stewart
french canadians are french tho
Parker Cook
You have to go back, Lâm
Blake Hill

Elijah Stewart
>all Chinese cuisine is North China
>what is Cantonese cuisine
>what is Guangxi cuisine
>what is Yue cuisine (ancestors of Vietnamese).
Elijah Edwards
con đĩ bánh mì lol
Charles Jenkins
Yeah but how did France influence any of that?
Xavier Morgan
>Cantonese cuisine
i'm not wrong though. its quite different from vietnamese cuisine.
Jonathan Smith
They did that long before the French arrived
Carson Collins
yeah but that script was invented by a frenchman
Oliver Rivera
The Vietnamese alphabet too is a French invention. Before the missionaries came, it was written in Chinese script IIRC
I wonder how Catholicism came to Vietnam given that the government that controlled Vietnam was secular
Landon Baker
But that's not the only Southern Chinese cuisine. Yue food and Vietnamese food are pretty much the same
Jason Sullivan
My example of Cantonese food disproves your retarded stereotype of all Chinese food.
Guangxi food/Yue food is literally the same as Northern Vietnamese. There are numerous intermixed families in these areas.
So is Vietnamese food completely different from Chinese? Much more similarities between it and Chinese than anything else.
Honestly don’t care what a delusional gook believes though.
