That's incorrect. Vietnam was colonized by France, not Germany.

Brief facts:
- French military intervention began in 1858 (attack on Đà Nẵng) and led to the cession of southern provinces (Cochinchina) by the 1862 Treaty of Saigon.
- By the 1880s France had established protectorates over Annam and Tonkin; in 1887 France formed the colony of French Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, later Laos).
- Germany (unified in 1871) did acquire overseas colonies beginning in the 1880s, but it never colonized Vietnam.
