The Provisional Central Government of Vietnam^[a] was a French-associated entity proclaimed in Vietnam during the First Indochina War. It was created as a transitional government replacing the French protectorates of Tonkin (Northern Vietnam) and Annam (Central Vietnam), until Cochinchina (Southern Vietnam) could be reunited with the rest of the country under a unified French-associated administration.
