Điện Biên Phủ

Điện Biên Phủ is a historic battle site in Vietnam where, in 1954, Vietnamese forces decisively defeated French colonial troops, marking a turning point in the First Indochina War. The victory led to the end of French rule in Vietnam and influenced the country's path toward independence. Strategically situated in the mountainous region of Điện Biên Province, the battlefield became symbolic of Vietnamese resistance and perseverance against colonialism. Today, it is preserved as a national historical site, commemorating the efforts and sacrifices that contributed to Vietnam’s sovereignty and inspiring international anti-colonial movements.
