The Provisional Central Government of Vietnam^[a] was a provisional associated government within the French Union, proclaimed in Vietnam during the First Indochina War. On 5 June 1948, it was recognized as an independent government by France. However, it was only created as a transitional entity partly 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 an independent associated state within the French Union. This state would be the State of Vietnam, predecessor of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam).
