Person
Jean Decoux
Jean Decoux was a French admiral who governed French Indochina for the Vichy regime from 1940 to 1945. He accepted the stationing of Japanese troops in the colony while keeping French administration in place, and promoted youth, sports and local patriotic movements loyal to Marshal Pétain. He was removed when Japan seized power in March 1945 and was later tried in France.
