Vietnam/France: 'Only the Mad would think of Resistance to the Japanese'. Japanese/Vichy propaganda leaflet, c. 1941. The Japanese Invasion of French Indochina, also known as the Vietnam Expedition, was a move by the Empire of Japan in September 1940, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, to prevent China from importing arms and fuel through French Indochina, via the Sino-Vietnamese Railway from the port of Haiphong through Hanoi to Kunming in Yunnan. Japan occupied northern Indochina, which tightened the blockade of China and made continuation of the Battle of South Guangxi unnecessary.
