Summary
While European scientific and medical theories had almost no impact on the inhabitants of the territory that Europeans referred to as Indochina before the twentieth century, Western technological innovations, particularly in the areas of military armaments and engineering, were used in struggles for control of the territory that is now Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam from the seventeenth century on. The results of this use were particularly noteworthy during the twentieth century and have remained important for those countries in the twenty-first century.
