:''For the Chinese province, see Annam (Chinese province). For other uses, see Annam (disambiguation).'' Annam ((ベトナム語:An Nam) or ''Trung Kỳ'', alternate spelling: Anam) was a French protectorate encompassing the central region of Vietnam. Vietnamese were subsequently referred to as "Annamites." Nationalist writers adopted the word "Vietnam" in the late 1920s. The general public embraced the word "Vietnam" during the revolution of August 1945. Since that time, the word "Annam" has been regarded as demeaning. The region was seized by the French by 1884 and became part of French Indochina in 1887. Two other Vietnamese regions, Cochinchina (''Nam Kỳ'') in the South and Tonkin (''Bắc Kỳ'') in the North, were also units of French Indochina. The region had a dual system of French and Vietnamese administration. The Nguyễn Dynasty still nominally ruled Annam, with a puppet emperor residing in Huế. In 1949, the protectorate was merged in the newly established State of Vietnam. The region was divided between communist North Vietnam and anti-communist South Vietnam under the terms of the Geneva Accord of 1954. ==Etymology and pre-colonial usage== Annam means "Pacified South" in Sino-Vietnamese, the toponym being derived from the Chinese An Nan (安南; pinyin: Ānnán). In the history of Vietnam, the designation is one of several given by the Chinese to the Tonkin, the core territory of modern-day Vietnam surrounding the city of Hanoi, which included land from the Gulf of Tonkin to the mountains which surround the plains of the Red River. The name has also been applied to the Annamite Range (''la Chaîne Annamitique''), a mountain range with a height ranging up to that divides Vietnam and Laos. ''An Nam'' is usually considered offensively demeaning to Vietnamese people, and mostly used in sarcastic manners. ''Trung Kì'' or ''Trung Kỳ'' is instead used in formal contexts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annam (French protectorate)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
