Cochin China

Cochin China, also known as Southern Vietnam, was a historical region that included parts of modern-day southern Vietnam, such as Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. It was once a French colony and played a key role in Vietnam’s history as a major trade and economic area. The term is mostly used in historical contexts, especially during French colonization, and it highlights the region’s distinct cultural and economic identity within Vietnam. Today, it is part of the independent country of Vietnam, known for its vibrant cities, rich history, and agricultural productivity.
