[In Pictures] August Revolution, August 19, 1945: A victory of patriotism and aspiration for national independence

The August Revolution of 1945 was a great victory of the Vietnamese nation under the leadership of the Communist Party and leader Nguyen Ai Quoc-Ho Chi Minh. The August Revolution gave birth to the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, opened a new chapter in the nation’s history, affirmed the triumph of patriotism and the aspiration for national independence, and strongly encouraged national liberation movements around the world.
