Yokoyama also told him that Japan "was prepared to acknowledge an Annamite declaration of independence within the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Undoubtedly much relieved, Bảo Đại instructed <a href="/wiki/Ph%E1%BA%A1m_Qu%E1%BB%B3nh" title="Phạm Quỳnh">Phạm Quỳnh</a>, his minister of the interior (and de facto premier), to draft a proclamation in French and show it to Yokoyama, who found it proper except for a clause expressing gratitude to the Japanese armed forces. That passage deleted, Phạm Quỳnh scheduled a meeting of the full cabinet for the next morning, 11 March, where he read out the text solemnly in the presence of the monarch. The 'government of Vietnam' abrogated the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Hu%E1%BA%BF_(1884)" title="Treaty of Huế (1884)">1884 protectorate treaty</a> signed with the French, proclaimed its independence, and affirmed its determination to collaboration with Japan."<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Decline">Decline</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Empire_of_Vietnam&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Decline"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Kim's historic achievement was immediately overshadowed by external pressure and domestic infighting. On July 26, the leaders of the <a href="/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II" title="Allies of World War II">Allies</a> issued a declaration demanding the unconditional surrender of Japan. Japan was on the defensive and quickly losing ground, and its aim was no longer to win the war, but simply to find an honorable ceasefire. On the Vietnamese front, the possibility of future punishment by the Allied forces for collaboration with the Japanese discouraged many possible supporters of Kim. His ministers and public servant corps began to dwindle in number. The Imperial Commissioner of the North (Tonkin), Phan Kế Toại, accompanied by his son and other <a href="/wiki/Viet_Minh" title="Viet Minh">Viet Minh</a> sympathisers and secret communists such as Nguyễn Mạnh Hà and Hoàng Minh Giám, submitted his resignation. Nguyễn Xuân Chữ, a leader of the Vietnamese Patriotic Party (Viet Nam <i>Ái quốc</i> Đảng) and one of the five members of <a href="/wiki/C%C6%B0%E1%BB%9Dng_%C4%90%E1%BB%83" title="Cường Để">Cường Để</a>'s National Reconstruction Committee, refused the offer of replacing Toại. Returning to Thuận Hóa, Kim arrived to find increasing conflict among his ministers. Chương wanted credit for arranging the integration of the three ceded cities and southern Vietnam to Kim's government and was regarded as having Prime Ministerial designs himself. The government meetings of August 5 and 6 were headlined by personal disputes and the resignation of the ministers of interior, economy, and supplies. Hồ Tá Khanh, the economic minister, went further and demanded the resignation of the government. Khanh proposed that the communist Viet Minh be given a chance to govern because of its strength. The government resigned on August 7. Bảo Đại asked Kim to form a new government, but the end of the war made this impossible.<sup id="cite_ref-c311_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c311-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 6 and 9 August 1945, respectively, the <a href="/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki" title="Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki">atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki</a> took place; on August 8, 1945, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and <a href="/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Manchuria" title="Soviet invasion of Manchuria">invaded Manchuria</a>, and Japan's resistance to the Allies was quickly ended. Japan decided to give Kim and Vietnamese nationalists the full independence and territorial unification that they had sought for decades. Kim was urged many times to come to Saigon to officially accept control of Nam Bộ. Multiple factors prevented Kim from leaving the capital. From August 8 onward, Phạm Khắc Hòe, Bảo Đại's office director, was instructed by Tôn Quang Phiệt (the future chairman of the Viet Minh's Revolutionary Committee in Huế) to persuade the Emperor to abdicate voluntarily.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In order to carry out his mission, Hòe persistently disrupted Kim's activities, particularly by citing Kim's failure to call the most influential figures to Thuận Hóa to form a new government.

On the one hand, the Allies began to put into effect their postwar plans for Vietnam, which included the disarmament of Japanese troops and the division of Vietnam into spheres of influence. The Japanese military and civilian personnel in Vietnam were hamstrung by the unconditional surrender of their government and the possibility of Allied retribution. With respect to the Vietnamese, the Japanese were split psychologically and ideologically. Some Japanese favoured the Viet Minh, releasing Communist political prisoners, arming the Viet Minh front, and even volunteering their services. Others, including senior military officers, wanted to use their forces to support Kim's government and to crush the communists. Amid the political confusion and power vacuum engulfing the country, a race to power by diverse Vietnamese political groups took place.<sup id="cite_ref-c312_11-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c312-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On the eve of Japan's surrender, Kim and his supporters tried to take control of the situation. On August 12, Kim's outgoing government was retained as "Provisional Government" to oversee the day-to-day running of the country. Kim asked Bảo Đại to issue an imperial order on August 14 repealing the treaties of Saigon of <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Saigon_(1862)" title="Treaty of Saigon (1862)">1862</a> and <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Saigon_(1874)" title="Treaty of Saigon (1874)">1874</a>, thus removing the last French claims to sovereign rights over Vietnam. Messengers were sent from the central capital to northern and southern Vietnam to reunify diverse groups under the central government in Thuận Hóa, but they were apprehended en route by the Viet Minh.<sup id="cite_ref-c312_11-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c312-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Even though Bảo Đại's messengers were cut off, non-communist leaders in northern and southern Vietnam attempted to challenge the Viet Minh.

One of their first resolutions was to alter the national name to <b>Việt Nam</b>. This was seen as a significant and urgent task. It implied territorial unity; "Việt Nam" had been Emperor <a href="/wiki/Gia_Long" title="Gia Long">Gia Long</a>'s choice for the name of the country since he unified the modern territory of Việt Nam in 1802. Furthermore, this was the first time that Vietnamese nationalists in the northern, central and southern regions of the country officially recognized this name. In March, activists in the North always mentioned <i><a href="/wiki/%C4%90%E1%BA%A1i_Vi%E1%BB%87t" title="Đại Việt">Đại Việt</a></i> (Great Việt), the name used before the 15th century by the <a href="/wiki/L%C3%AA_dynasty" title="Lê dynasty">Lê dynasty</a> and its predecessors, while those in the South used Vietnam, and the central leaders used <i><a href="/wiki/Annam_(French_protectorate)" title="Annam (French protectorate)">An Nam</a></i> (Peaceful South) or <i>Đại Nam</i> (Great South, which was used by the <a href="/wiki/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_Lords" class="mw-redirect" title="Nguyễn Lords">Nguyễn Lords</a>, precursor of <a href="/wiki/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_dynasty" title="Nguyễn dynasty">Nguyễn dynasty</a>).<sup id="cite_ref-chieucon_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chieucon-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Kim also renamed the three regions of the country—the northern (former <a href="/wiki/Tonkin_(French_protectorate)" title="Tonkin (French protectorate)">Tonkin</a> or Bắc Kỳ) became Bắc Bộ, the central region (former <a href="/wiki/Annam_(French_protectorate)" title="Annam (French protectorate)">Annam</a> or Trung Kỳ) became Trung Bộ, and the southern areas (former <a href="/wiki/French_Cochinchina" title="French Cochinchina">Cochinchina</a> or Nam Kỳ) became Nam Bộ. Kim did this even though at the time the Japanese had only given him direct authority over the northern and central regions of Vietnam. When France had finished its conquest of Vietnam in 1885, only southern Vietnam was made a direct <a href="/wiki/French_colonialism" class="mw-redirect" title="French colonialism">colony</a> under the name of Cochinchina. The northern and central regions were designated as protectorates as Tonkin and Annam. When the Empire of Vietnam was proclaimed, the Japanese retained direct control of Cochinchina, in the same way as their French predecessors.<sup id="cite_ref-chieucon_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-chieucon-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Thu%E1%BA%ADn_H%C3%B3a" title="Thuận Hóa">Thuận Hóa</a>, the pre-colonial name for Huế, was restored.

On June 29, General <a href="/wiki/Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi" title="Yuitsu Tsuchihashi">Yuitsu Tsuchihashi</a> signed a series of decrees transferring some of the duties of the government (including customs, information, youth, and sports) to the governments of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, effective July 1. Bảo Đại then issued imperial orders establishing four committees to work on a new regime: the National Consultative Committee (<i>Hội đồng Tư vấn Quốc gia</i>); a committee of fifteen to work on the creation of a constitution; a committee of fifteen to examine administrative reform, legislation, and finance; and a committee for educational reform. For the first time, leaders from southern regions were invited to join these committees.<sup id="cite_ref-c310_17-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c310-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Other developments in southern Vietnam in early July were seen as preparatory Japanese steps towards granting territorial reunification to Vietnam. In early July, when southern Vietnam was abuzz with the spirit of independence and mass political participation due to the creation of the Vanguard Youth organizations in Saigon and other regional centres, Governor Minoda announced the organization of the <i>Hội nghị Nam</i> (Council of "the South", i.e. Cochinchina) to facilitate his governance. This council was charged with advising the Japanese based on questions submitted to it by the Japanese and for overseeing provincial affairs. Minoda underlined that its primary aim was to make the Vietnamese population believe that they had to collaborate with the Japanese, because "if the Japanese lose the war, the independence of Indochina would not become complete." At the inauguration of the Council of the South on July 21, Minoda implicitly referred to the unification of Vietnam. Trần Văn An was appointed as the president of the council, and Kha Vạn Cân, a leader of the Vanguard Youth, was appointed to be his deputy.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On July 13, Kim arrived in Hanoi to negotiate directly with Governor-General Tsuchihashi. Tsuchihashi agreed to transfer control of Hanoi, Hải Phòng, and Đà Nẵng to Kim's government, taking effect on July 20. After protracted negotiation, Tsuchihashi agreed that the south (Cochinchina) would be united with the Empire of Vietnam and that Kim would attend the unification ceremonies on August 8 in Saigon.<sup id="cite_ref-c311_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-c311-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Military">Military</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Empire_of_Vietnam&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Military"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg/175px-Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg" decoding="async" width="175" height="300" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg/263px-Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg/350px-Yuitsu_Tsuchihashi.jpg 2x" data-file-width="851" data-file-height="1458" /></a><figcaption>Yuitsu Tsuchihashi served as adviser of the Vietnamese Imperial Army.</figcaption></figure> <p>After the creation of the puppet Empire of Vietnam, the Japanese began raising an army to help police the local population.
