- Mekong_Expedition_of_1866–68 abstract "The Mekong Expedition of 1866-1868, conceived and promoted by a group of French colonial officers and launched under the leadership of captain Ernest Doudard de Lagrée, was a naval exploration and scientific expedition of the Mekong river on behalf of the French colonial authorities of Cochinchina. Its primary objective among scientific documentation, mapping and the mission civilatrice was the assessment of the river's navigability in order to link the delta region and the port of Saigon with the riches of southern China and upper Siam (modern day Thailand). Ambitions were to turn Saigon into a successful commercial center such as British controlled Shanghai at the mouth of the Yangtze river.Political objectives were heavily influenced by 19th century Anglo-French geo-strategic rivalries, namely the consolidation and expansion of French colonial possessions, the containment of Britain's colony of Upper Burma and the suppression of British economic interference on the South-East Asian subcontinent.Over the course of 2 years the expedition, which came to be known as the Mekong Exploration Commission traversed almost 9,000 km (5,592 mi) from Saigon through 19th century Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar into China's Yunnan province; finally arriving in Shanghai and mapping over 5,800 km (3,604 mi) of previously unknown terrain. Despite its explicit political and economic connotations, long after the classic Age of Discovery and the disappointment over the river's unsuitability as a trade highway, the expedition gained highest acclaim among scholars, in particular the Royal Geographical Society in London and "holds a special place in the European annals of discovery" as the first to reveal the Mekong valley region, its people and southern China to Europeans.".
