Abstract

Advanced by the US President Franklin Roosevelt in July 1943, the idea of an international Indochina trusteeship had planned for Indochinese peoples a political fate very different from the French colonialism having lasted 80 years. However, due to many obstacles, the idea failed to bring into a policy, and finally was cancelled in April 1945.
