Constituted (1946) as an independent republic within the Federation of Indochina, Cochin China was later (1949) permitted by the French to join with Annam and Tonkin in Vietnam.

It was also the name given to the southern provinces of Vietnam (southwest of the modern province of Binh Thuan) after they were seized by the French in 1862–67 and annexed as a French colony. The name Cochin China is not used by the Vietnamese; under the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam the area is called Nam-bo. Cochin Chinacochin china
