The Vietnamese Revolution refers to a series of political and social movements in Vietnam aimed at achieving independence and social reform. It began in the early 20th century, influenced by nationalist sentiments and anti-colonial struggles against French colonial rule. Key figures, such as Ho Chi Minh, emerged during this period, advocating for the rights of the Vietnamese people. The revolution culminated in the August Revolution of 1945, which led to the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This marked the end of French colonial rule and set the stage for the subsequent conflict with the United States during the Vietnam War, as Vietnam sought to unify under a communist government.
