Answer 1

"By 1931, Cochin China's (the southern regions) population reached 4,500,000. By the late 1930s, 6,200 landlords with estates of over fifty hectares in Cochin China owned 45% of the rice acreage, and that figure remained nearly constant for the next twenty years. Vietnamese landowners ended up by 1940 with two-thirds of the concession lands in Cochin China. In effect, the French created a new and increasingly Gallicized indigenous landowning class, privileged but also wholly dependent on the colonial administration."
