The 1946 section currently has "under Bao Dai, former Emperor of Japan and de facto head of Indochinese state during the Second World War. It was, however, by the end of 1946 before the French Far East Expeditionary Force,[5] with the French acronym CEFEO, established." Emperor of Japan?!? Established what? Is it worth mentioning that Bao Dai had abdicated in favor of Ho's government and the FRench were trying to restore him? Sandy Harris 04:02, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Emperor of Japan is a big OOPS. Emperor of Annam and of the Nguyen Dynasty. Yes, he abdicated, but the French essentially reinstated him as a figurehead; I need to make that more clear. It was a very strange situation; the French essentially treated him as if he had never abdicated, not that he had any power then. Howard C. Berkowitz 04:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
