'scholar's Revolt' of 1868 against the spread of Christianity in Vietnam :
Christianity introduced by French missionaries was intolerant. An early movement against French control and the spread of Christianity was the 'Scholar's Revolt' in 1868. This revolt was led by officials at the imperial court angered by the spread of Catholicism and French power. They led a general uprising in Ngu An and Ha Tien provinces where over 1000 Catholics were killed. The French crushed the movement but this uprising served to inspire other patriots to rise up against them.
