As this article demonstrates, Vietnam stands out among the beneficiaries of
Japanese war reparations for the huge gap in expectations as to compensation issues
(although the Cambodia example offers a counterpoint)．Not only was the
Tokyo government challenged internationally by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam
(DRV) as the sole legal claimant upon these funds, but domestically by the
major left-wing opposition parties (and where the major Japanese reparations-aid
project, a hydro dam, was crippled by the DRV's southern arm, the Viet Cong)．
But even prior to the French invention of the State of Vietnam in 1949，it was
France which made claims upon Japan for war damages and reparations, as well as
for unpaid loans and debts. A complex diplomatic contest that also engaged
Washington, not all issues were resolved even with France's recognition of Japan
as an independent state, and the emergence in 1955 of the independent Republic of
Vietnam under President Ngo Dinh Diem. Precisely, this article problematizes the
interwoven themes of French war damages claims, Vietnamese reparations, and
Japan's postwar business links
