The Emperor's Summer Palace at Dalat, Vietnam

Before World War Two, the French Government in Paris ruled French Indo-China

through a group of local royal rulers.

There was a King in Laos, a King in Cambodia and an Emperor in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese Emperor had a Summer Palace at Dalat.

The last Emperor, Bao-Dai (1913-1963), certainly lived better than the

Tenant Rice Farmers in the III and IV Corps areas !

He was deposed in 1955 and died in exile.
