Phan Boi Chau |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.06 sec. |
Phan Boi Chauor Phan Giai San orig. Phan Van San(born 1867, Nghe An province, Viet.—died Sept. 29, 1940, Hue) Vietnamese resistance figure. Son of a poor scholar, he received a doctorate in 1900, by which time he was already a firm nationalist. Opposed to French rule in Vietnam, he organized efforts to place the nationalist Prince Cuong De (1882–1951) on the throne. In 1905 he moved his resistance movement to Japan, where he met Sun Yat-sen and Phan Chau Trinh. His monarchist scheme failed, as did a plan to assassinate the governor-general of French Indochina, and Chau was imprisoned in 1914–17. Hundreds of Vietnamese protested when he was arrested again in 1925; subsequently released, he spent his remaining years in quiet retirement. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| The links between the Vietnamese revolution and other countries in the region first appeared during the first quarter of the twentieth century, when anticolonialist rebels connected with the Vietnamese patriot Phan Boi Chau began to recruit Vietnamese emigres living in Thailand (then known as Siam) for operations inside French Indochina. He asserts that it was the Han dynasty that introduced the art of bronze working to the Vietnamese, that during the second united front between the Chinese Communists and the Nationalist Government in 1940, the revolutionary Vietnamese patriot Phan Boi Chau "was able to find cooperation from both factions", and that Prince Sihanouk fell from power in Cambodia in 1975. |
