Annam : An Nam or Trung Kỳ means “Pacified South” in Sino-Vietnamese, derived from the Chinese Ānnán. The region was seized by the French by 1884 & with two other Vietnamese regions, Cochin China in the South & Tonkin in the North, became French Indochina in 1887. Nationalist writers adopted the word “Vietnam” in the late 1920s which became its popular name during the revolution of August 1945. In 1949, the three regions were merged to establish the State of Vietnam; the State was divided between communist North & anti-communist South under the terms of the Geneva Accord of 1954.
