citations needed edit
This article badly needs some citations.Mattun0211 (talk) 08:24, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- Three and a half years later, and there are no inline citations. Some-one should put a notice on the page itself.211.225.33.104 (talk) 06:13, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
There is absolutely no mention of the massive amount of opium produced in Laos edit
Opium farming and labs producing morphine and heroin were a major industry in Laos. This book has a very well researched history of this. Chapter 7 has a wealth of information about it.

Dien Bien Phu a minor defeat? edit
The article states that the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu was not that a great a military loss. I beg to differ. They lost half the Foreign Legion there; total French Union Forces lost amounted to about ten percent of all French Union troops in the war. That's minor?
