The Vietnamese victory over the French forces at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, which ended almost a century of French colonial rule in Indochina, is one of the most famous events in the history of anticolonialism. How were the Vietnamese communists able to achieve this remarkable victory over a much more powerful colonial force? This is the question Chris Goscha seeks to answer in his new book, The Road to Dien Bien Phu: A History of the First War for Vietnam (Princeton UP, 2022). In doing so, Goscha re-enters the vexed debate about the relative importance of nationalism and communism in Vietnam's struggle against foreign powers. And he puts forward a compelling argument about the importance of “war communism” to the Vietnamese victory over the French. Chris Goscha is Professor of History and International Relations at the University of Quebec at Montreal, Canada, and a prize-winning author of works on the modern history of Vietnam.

For example, can you make posts about each other? Can you communicate with one another using social media? If so, what are the guidelines?

Intersection of D&N cases and DivorceWhat is dependency and neglect?Dependency and neglect (D&N) cases concern child abuse or neglect. These are civil cases that do not involve the criminal prosecution of parents, but there could be a concurrent criminal case. The D&N court has jurisdiction over children for their safety, protection, stability, and family preservation.When is a child dependent or neglected?•a parent, guardian, or legal custodian abandoned the child or subjected them to mistreatment or abuse.•the child lacks proper parental care through the actions or omissions of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian•the child's environment is injurious to his or her welfare•a parent, guardian, or legal custodian fails or refuses to provide the child with proper or necessary subsistence, education, medical care, or any other care necessary for the child's health, guidance, or well-being•the child is homeless, without proper care•the child is a runaway or is otherwise beyond the control of a parent, guardian, or legal custodian•the child was born affected by alcohol or substance exposure•a parent, guardian, or legal custodian subjected another child to an identifiable pattern of habitual abuseWhat are the various roles/players involved in a D&N case?•Lawyers- Parents, guardians, or legal custo­dians named in a D&N case as respondents may hire counsel or, if they cannot afford a lawyer, the court will determine their eligibility for a state-funded lawyer to represent them.•DHS caseworker- DHS caseworkers coordinate services and maintain contact with the family. They also provide the court with written reports (family service plans).•Guardian ad litem (GAL). The GAL is the lawyer assigned to represent the child's best interests. The GAL must advocate on behalf of the child's health, safety, and well-being.•County attorney - The county attorney (or city attorney of a city and county)6 represents DHS and is responsible for initiating the D&N case. County attorneys work with caseworkers to make recommendations to the court regard­ing the child's best interests.•CASA volunteer - CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to gather information about the child and make recommendations to inform the judge's decision-making.What is involved with the D&N Process?•Initial matters. A D&N case begins when the county attorney or, in Denver and Broomfield, the city/county attorney, files a petition. The parents, guardians, or legal custodians named in the petition are the respondents and are required to appear in court to admit or deny the allegations against them. Respondents may request that the case be heard by a six-member jury,7 a judge, or a juvenile magistrate. Other­wise, respondents who admit to the allegations advance immediately to the disposition phase to set the respondent's treatment plan•Preliminary protection proceeding. If DHS removes a child from the home based on alleged abuse or neglect, the court must hold a preliminary protection hearing. This hearing must take place within 72 hours after placement outside the home, ex­cluding Saturdays, Sundays, and court holidays•Adjudicatory hearing. The court decides at the adjudicatory hearing if the child is dependent or neglected.10 If the court adjudicates the child dependent or neglected, it can order the child to remain in DHS custody or the family to remain under DHS supervision. This hearing should be held within 60 to 90 days of the date of service of the petition. If the child is adjudicated, the court then approves a case treatment plan.•Reviews. The court periodically reviews a D&N case as long as the child remains in DHS custody or under its supervision•Permanency plan. If the child remains in an out-of-home placement, the court must hold

Pre-colonized Vietnam was split into three states, Cochinchina, Annam, and Tonkin. Cochinchina covered the most southern part of Vietnam in which its primary city was Saigon. Annam was the central state of Vietnam where the ancient capital of Vietnam, Hue, was located. Tonkin was the most northern region where its main city was Hanoi. The first European arrival to Indochina, which was made up of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, began with Portuguese and Dutch missionaries during the 16th and 17th centuries, respectively. These missionaries' main objective was to start up trading posts along the Vietnamese coast. Book The Forgotten Theater of WWII of China-Burma-India References 1.

More than forty year after its end the Vietnam War casts a long shadow over our understanding of Vietnam’s modern history. But the acute focus on the war has perhaps distorted our understanding of modern Vietnam. Christopher Goscha’s award-winning new book, Vietnam: A New History (Basic Books, 2016), brilliantly paints a picture of an ancient, diverse, and complex country which had already begun to modernize before the arrival of the French (let alone the Americans) and which was itself an imperial power. In Vietnam: a New History Ho Chi Minh and the communists were not the only anti-colonial nationalists, but rather one of a number of groups fired by the radical new idea of republicanism.Vietnam: a New History takes us beyond the bitter divide in Vietnamese historiography between the “orthodox” and “revisionist” interpretations of Vietnam’s modern history. Goscha provokes the reader to become aware of the haunting possibility that Vietnam’s modern history could have been different – which in turn stimulates the reader to think of new possibilities for a future Vietnam.
