🚂 Ride Vietnam's train with me! https://youtu.be/KjFpWiwkUso?si=-Mhf82aEkNSUPiHW -- 🥖 What France really wanted with Indochina: https://geographicgeoff.substack.com/p/what-france-really-wanted-with-french -- 🌳 Find me elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/geoffgibson 🗺️ Map store: https://geoffxmuirway.com/ Vietnam is ascendant! By nearly every metric the country is outperforming its Southeast Asia neighbors, particularly as companies aim to shift manufacturing away from China due to global economic concerns. Because of this, the country has a growing middle class, educated population, and prominence on the world stage. In fact, in many ways, Vietnam could outpace Japan over the next few decades. But this doesn't mean Vietnam is without its own challenges. In this video, we'll cover the physical geography of Vietnam, the history of the country and how it became the Vietnam we know today, and why Vietnam is poised to become the Southeast Asia power that has never truly existed, perhaps even rivaling Japan in the near future. -- Stock footage and music acquired from www.envato.com, www.storyblocks.com and videvo.net.
