National Day of Vietnam
Led by the Vietnamese Independence League, or Viet Minh, the August Revolution of 1945 ended 80 years of French colonial domination, abolished the monarchy and re-established Vietnam as an independent nation. Vietnam was the first country in Asia to achieve independence from colonial domination. But the Vietnamese people’s battle for freedom was not over. It took another 30 years of bitter struggle and war to finally win complete liberation and independence.
