The August General Uprising of 1945 was a revolution of the people’s unanimous will, organised and led by the Party, guided by Ho Chi Minh’s ideology. At the threshold of a new era, the lesson of building and promoting the strength of great national unity was recognised and upheld.

After only a very short period of preparation, the Tonkin Party Committee and the Ha Noi Party Committee mobilised the people of Ha Noi to rise up and seize power on August 19, 1945.
