    At Geneva, the proposals of the DRV negotiator- Pham Van Dong, the DRV's vice-minister for foreign affairs, included several basic points that called for a cease-fire; peace, independence, unity and democracy in Indochina; relations with France; and relations among VN, Laos, Cambodia and with foreign countries. In detail, from DRV’s point of view, they expected a final settlement which would contribute more advantageous to the Indochinese revolution.

    Before 1863, Cambodia mainly served as a vassal territory for either the Thai or Vietnamese government. As stated earlier, King Norodom was seeking to end this cycle and gain power for Cambodia by signing a protection treaty with France. France viewed Cambodia as a buffer zone between southern Vietnam and British-aligned Siam. They hoped that by signing the treaty they would be protecting their own interests in southern Vietnam.

On 11 August 1863, King Norodom signed a ‘treaty of friendship, commerce and French protection’ with the Breton sailor Admiral Pierre de La Grandière, whose gunboat was moored on the river…
