Charles-Théodore Millot

Charles-Théodore Millot was a French general who distinguished himself in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) and the Tonkin Campaign (1883–1886). His victories at Bắc Ninh and Hưng Hóa brought to an end the two-year undeclared war in northern Vietnam between France and China, and paved the way for the conclusion of the Tientsin Accord between the two countries on 11 May 1884. Millot resigned as general-in-chief of the Tonkin Expeditionary Corps shortly after the outbreak of the Sino-French War on 23 August 1884 and returned to France.
