[FR] Monument dédié aux combattants de la Guerre d'Indochine situé dans le square du Souvenir à Saumur.
La guerre d’Indochine ou guerre d'indépendance d'Indochine, également désignée au Viêt Nam comme la guerre de résistance antifrançaise ou encore la première guerre d'Indochine dans le monde anglo-saxon, est un conflit armé qui se déroula de 1946 à 1954 en Indochine française : actuels Vietnam, Laos et Cambodge.
Opposant l'Union française au Viêt Minh, le conflit aboutit, à la suite des accords de Genève, à la fin de la Fédération indochinoise et à la partition du territoire vietnamien en deux États rivaux : République démocratique du Viêt Nam et Sud-Viêt Nam. La guerre d’Indochine fit plus de 500 000 victimes et fut suivie par la guerre du Viêt Nam (1955-1975).
