Troops of the French #ThirdRepublic defeated a larger force from the #QingDynasty of #China in 1885 on #ThisDayInHistory at #NúiBop. The two empires had gone to war over control of #Vietnam. China surrendered claims over Northern & Central Vietnam in a treaty four months later.

Black-lined condolence-cards are streaming in for #France historian #MichelWinock - but no! He hasn't died (granted, he's 87 yrs old); rather, his piece traces the "Golden Age" of the #ThirdRepublic via accounts of 20 funerals during its term
