This means that Vietnamese culture was deeply influenced by the Chinese culture. Sino-French-Vietnamese relations possessed three distinct characteristics between the years of 1870 and 1887. First was the transition of the Vassal State when China controlled Vietnam, to the Protectorate State when France gained dominance over Vietnam. Second characteristic was that France gained more powerful weapons than the Chinese. With the third characteristic, France established a stronghold over Indochina.
