French colonies were important for supplying natural resources and other essential goods to Vietnam ,explain.
Dear Student,
As per the statement given in the text "Colonies were considered essential to supply natural resources and
other essential goods", thus French had the following objectives for colonisation:
a. To establish control over natural resources and to ensure supply of raw materials and goods. For French they wanted to ensure supply of raw material and other resources to their country and to tap the resources of the colony to the fullest.
b. The French policy-makers wanted to educate the people of Vietnam, because they considered education as one way to civilize the “natives". They were driven by the idea of a ‘Civilizing Mission’, and considered it their duty to bring modern ideas to the colony and to reshape its culture and also to have an educated labour force.
c. The objective was also to develop these colonies so as to improve standard of living of the people and improving their purchasing power who would then buy goods leading to profits for French businessmen.
Regards
