Cách mạng tháng Tám

Cách mạng Tháng Tám, or the August Revolution of 1945, was a pivotal movement in Vietnam’s history where Vietnamese people, seeking independence from French colonial rule and Japanese occupation, united to overthrow colonial authorities. Led by the Viet Minh under Ho Chi Minh, the revolution culminated in the declaration of independence on August 19, 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This revolution was fueled by widespread dissatisfaction with colonial oppression, the impact of World War II, and a strong desire for national sovereignty, ultimately shaping Vietnam’s path toward self-rule and nationhood.
