Cochinchina, which includes the Mekong Delta, was the southernmost of the three main regions of French Indochina, which became Vietnam. Other variants on the name include "Cochin China", "Cochin-china", or "Cochinchine".
In 1948, the Dan Xa Dang attempted to form a coalition government, which was rejected by Bao Dai, and eventually had its leadership killed by the Viet Minh.
After the Republic of Vietnam was formed, Cochinchina, less Saigon, was roughly equivalent to IV Corps tactical zone. Nguyen Ngoc Tho, the vice-president under Ngo Dinh Diem and briefly premier after the overthrow of Diem, was prominent as one of the few Cochinchinese in the Diem government.
