Aspectes éthiques du terrorisme vietnamien, 1908 et 1913

Abstract
This article aims, based on the historical case of the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Vietnamese independentists in French Indochina in 1908 and in 1913, as well as on the ethics of war as defined through Michael Walzer's classical stance as well as the recent challenge posed to that stance by Jeff McMahan, to research the ethical aspects of "terrorism". We will first try to find if there is an objective concept covered by this controversial term of "terrorism", then research if and when "terrorism" can be ethically justified, to finally bring our theory to the test through our historical example, thus replacing "terrorism" as a legitimate object of the ethics of war.
