This case study of the Montagnard tribes of Vietnam provides a
compressed history of the Montagnards from 1857 to present with an
emphasis on the French-Indochinese War and then the Vietnam War.
Initially, a working knowledge of the Montagnard tribes is required
and provided via primarily anthropological sources. This is crucial
to highlight the differences between the Montagnards and the
mainstream Vietnamese population. With the introduction of
missionaries to Indochina, the French influence on the Montagnards
became evident. As France tried to re-establish its colonial rule
after WWII, the Montagnards supported the French against the Viet
Mihn. The question is, why did the Montagnards support the French
and vice versa? After the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu and
subsequent withdrawal form Vietnam, the Montagnards turned to the
U.S. for support. Once again, why did the Montagnards choose to
support the U.S. and what did the U.S. gain by supporting the
Montagnards? The final section of the paper discusses the DIME
(diplomatic, informational, military, economic) instruments of
power and how these can be brought to bear in regard to the current
Montagnard situation. The conclusion is intended to ask the reader
whether or not the U.S. has any obligation to the Montagnards in
lieu of the Vietnam War support or the current Montagnard plight.
It is an open-ended question by design, but either answer has its
own set consequences.
