1885 Qing victory in the Sino-French War

The Retreat from Lạng Sơn was a controversial French strategic withdrawal in Tonkin at the end of March 1885 during the Sino-French War. It represented the last major event of the conflict and was deemed a considerable embarrassment in France, further cementing negative public opinion about the colonial conflict which led to the collapse of French Prime Minister Jules Ferry's government.
