Starting in 1722, the Holy Roman emperors and Austro-Hungarian monarchs encouraged German and Alsatian settlement in their lands, especially along the devastated border with the Turks. Colonies developed in what later became Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia. Following World War II many settlers moved to the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and other nations. | Starting in 1722, the Holy Roman emperors and Austro-Hungarian monarchs encouraged German and Alsatian settlement in their lands, especially along the devastated border with the Turks.

====Vietnam Background==== | |||
*The French colonial empire was heavily involved in Vietnam in the 19th century; often French intervention was undertaken in order to protect the work of the '''Paris Foreign Missions Society''' in the country. | |||
*Between 1862 and 1867, the southern third of French Indochina became the French colony of Cochinchina. In 1867, the provinces of An Giang, Hà Tiên and Vĩnh Long were added to French-controlled territory. All the territories in southern Vietnam were declared to be the new French colony of Cochinchina. | |||
*Most French settlers in Indochina were concentrated in '''Cochinchina, particularly in Saigon, and in Hanoi, the colony's capital'''. | |||
*French Indochina was dissolved under the Geneva Accords of 1954 into three countries—Vietnam, and the kingdoms of Cambodia and Laos. | |||
*Unlike Algeria, French settlement in Indochina did not occur at a grand scale. By 1940, only about 34,000 French civilians lived in French Indochina, along with a smaller number of French military personnel and government workers. <ref>"French Indochina", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Indochina, accessed 1 May 2021.</ref> | |||
