Colonial Soldiers in Decolonization Wars. The Moroccan soldiers in Indochina (1946-1954)

Description du projet

La loyauté et l’héritage des soldats marocains en Indochine

De 1946 à 1954, les soldats marocains ont combattu en Indochine, participant à une guerre de décolonisation en dehors de leur pays. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie (MSCA), le projet ColsolDecol étudie comment la France a maintenu la loyauté de ces soldats dans un contexte de tensions nationalistes croissantes au Maroc. Il examine la continuité des réglementations politiques et culturelles françaises à l’égard des troupes marocaines, en particulier la politique islamique, et leur réception par les soldats. En outre, le projet explore les interactions entre les Marocains et les Indochinois locaux, leurs impacts culturels et sociaux à long terme, y compris les unions matrimoniales. En comparant cette situation avec d’autres migrations militaires marocaines en Europe, le projet étudiera des documents d’archives et des entretiens avec des vétérans.

Objectif

The Moroccan soldiers in Indochina (Vietnam) between 1946 -1954 were a specimen of soldiers who fought a decolinization war in a third country (not in the European metropole or in their own country of origin). This project seeks to examine to what extent the French, in a context of political tension in the Maghreb managed to retain the integrity and loyalty of their Moroccan military structures, despite the struggle with the nationalists in Morocco. It will also examine to what extent there was continuity, from the pre-1946 era, in the political and cultural policies that the French carried out towards their Moroccan soldiers in Indochina and the reception of the Moroccans of these policies, particularly the French army's Islamic policy. It will also look at the interactions of the Moroccans with their Indochinese cultural and human environment and the effect these interactions had on their attitude towards the people in Indochina, as well as the long term cultural social and cultrual effect of the struggle of these soldiers back in Morocco, especially in connection with marital unions and the families the Moroccans established in Indochina and later took them back home. The project sees this group of military men as as an example of temporary migrants and will also seek to compare the difference and similarities between the Indochinese case and other Moroccan migratory-military experiences that took place in Europe during and between the two World Wars. The project makes use of both archival material and exclusive interviews with Moroccan veterans.
