520    $aThis dissertation attempts to tell a more autonomous history by reframing the First Indochina War as a Vietnamese civil war that was simultaneously a colonial and Cold War conflict. To accomplish this, the chapters here focus on the efforts of lesser-studied non-communist parties, personalities, and state projects, and their relation to both domestic Vietnamese opponents and French colonial policy. Because this subject is usually depicted simply as a French war waged against the Vietnamese revolution, histories have largely omitted these figures and the states that they supported: the Empire of Vietnam, the Republic of Cochinchina, the Provisional Central Government, and the State of Vietnam. By incorporating these rival state projects into the history of the First Indochina War, this study shows that the conflict was a process that emerged from within late-colonial society and continued into the post-colonial. The central tension was between rival political projects seeking primacy over movements to reform or revolutionize Vietnamese society and state, and the different political models that they utilized. That framework allows us to understand why a great many Vietnamese chose to oppose the revolutionary Democratic Republic of Vietnam and how they came to support various, alternative state projects in collaboration with France. Finally, this dissertation shows how the refusal of France to trust or empower these moderate Vietnamese groups led to the collapse of French influence in Vietnam and the failure of the State of Vietnam.
