Indochina Francaise or French Indochina was a French colonial protectorate  in South East Asia. It consisted in 1887 of the areas of Tokin, Annam ans Cochinchina and also Cambodia.  Laos was added in 1893. Saigon was the first capital ( 1887 - 1902 ), then Hanoi ( 1902 - 1939 ) and finally Da Lat ( 1939 - 1945 )  during the classical era.   During WW II, Vichy France administered the colony , while the Japanese occupied the area.  According to Scott Classic Catalogue, French stamps were first introduced in 1851, but the first Indochina proper were issued in 1889.
