| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article examines the history of Operation Masterdom, the occupation of Southern-Indochina by British-Indian forces commanded by Major-General Douglas Gracey during the autumn and winter of 1945-46. It summarises the factors which led to the occupation force's embroilment in the struggle between the French and the Viet Minh, and compares and contrasts Masterdom with the present political and strategic problems faced by the US-led coalition in Iraq. |
