520 _aUsing the case studies of Mohammed V in Morocco, Norodom Sihanouk in Cambodia, and Bao Dai in Vietnam, this essay seeks to understand why some monarchs installed by the French during the colonial period survived decolonization while others did not. While the individual stories of these monarchs are well known, a comparison of their actions and the historical contexts in which they operated allows us to understand better why colonial monarchs like Mohammed V and Norodom Sihanouk successfully managed to be recognized as founding fathers of their respective nations, while Bao Dai was written off as a colonial puppet.
