The Nationalist Movement in Indo-China
(a) Port of Faifo
(b) Electrical Fuses
(c) Concentration Camp
(a) Port of Faifo: The port of Faifo was founded by Portuguese merchants. It was one of the ports used by European trading companies much before the nineteenth century.
(b) Electrical Fuses: These were Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces in Vietnam. These provinces were among the poorest, had an old radical tradition, and have been called the 'electrical fuses' of Vietnam-when the system was under pressure they were first to blow.
(c) Concentration Camp: It was a prison where people were detained without due process of law. In short, it was a place of torture and brutal treatment.
