The Vietnam SOLDIERS of World War I ⚔️ Europe 1914–1918

World War One history in 10 seconds: Decades before the Vietnam War, thousands of Vietnamese men were sent halfway around the world during the First World War.

At the time, Vietnam formed part of French Indochina and was under French colonial rule. During World War I, France recruited large numbers of men from Indochina for military and labour service.

Vietnamese soldiers served in a variety of military roles, while an even larger number of Vietnamese workers were sent to France to support the wartime economy and military supply system.

Their experiences formed part of the much larger contribution made by people from France's colonial empire during the First World War.

It is a largely forgotten chapter of both Vietnamese and World War I history, and one that took place decades before the conflicts that would later make Vietnam famous around the world.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวและการศึกษาประวัติศาสตร์ ผมอยากแชร์ว่าในสงครามโลกครั้งที่หนึ่ง ไทยหรือเวียดนามที่ถูกปกครองโดยฝรั่งเศสในสมัยนั้น ได้ส่งทหารและแรงงานไปยุโรปมากกว่าที่หลายคนคิด ทหารเวียดนามเหล่านี้ไม่ได้มีแค่หน้าที่รบเท่านั้น แต่ยังถูกส่งไปช่วยในงานแรงงาน เช่น การก่อสร้าง สาธารณูปโภค และซ่อมแซมระบบยุทธศาสตร์ของฝรั่งเศสด้วย ผมได้อ่านและเห็นภาพการเดินทางของพวกเขาที่ต้องทิ้งบ้านเกิดมาครึ่งโลก เพื่อสู้รบในสงครามที่ไม่ใช่ของตัวเอง ซึ่งเป็นความเจ็บปวดในประวัติศาสตร์ที่มักไม่ถูกกล่าวถึง ความเสียสละนี้ถือว่าเป็นส่วนหนึ่งที่ทำให้ฝรั่งเศสสามารถรักษากำลังและความยืดหยุ่นในสงครามได้ นอกจากนี้ยังทำให้ผมนึกถึงความซับซ้อนของอาณานิคมและความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างประเทศในอดีต เรื่องทหารและแรงงานเวียดนามในสงครามโลกครั้งที่หนึ่งเป็นบทเรียนที่สอนให้เข้าใจว่าประวัติศาสตร์นั้นมีมุมมองหลายด้าน ไม่ใช่แค่ประวัติศาสตร์ฝั่งยุโรปเพียงอย่างเดียว แต่ยังมีเรื่องราวของประชาชนในดินแดนอาณานิคมที่ถูกละเลย ความรู้เหล่านี้ช่วยให้เราตระหนักและเคารพในความหลากหลายของประวัติศาสตร์โลกมากขึ้นครับ

Shopping at Savage Mill
If you’re looking for a unique shopping experience in Maryland, I highly recommend visiting Savage Mill. The building was originally built as a textile mill in 1822. Savage Mill went through many changes and owners over the years, and began renovations in 1985, turning it into a shopping center.
