Several factors led to the rise of nationalism in Vietnam. They are:
- Economic exploitation of Vietnam by the French. The French exploited its resources and suppressed the labor force.
- French imposed their culture and traditions on Vietnamese and undermine their native culture.
- French introduced a western style education system which dismantled the traditional system of education. As a result, students and teachers played a crucial role in creating nationalism.
- French promoted Christianity as the only religion. Thus, the religious movements of Vietnam opposed this imposition. All this led to the emergence of Nationalism.
