Annam

Former country of Southeast Asia, incorporated in Vietnam in 1946 as Central Vietnam. Its capital was Hué. A Bronze Age civilization was flourishing in the area when China conquered it in about 111 BC. The Chinese named their conquest An-Nam, ‘peaceful south’. Independent from 1428, Annam signed a treaty with France in 1787 and became a French protectorate, part of Indochina in 1884. During World War II, Annam was occupied by Japan.
