The colonization of Vietnam by France began in 1858 and ended by 1884. Japan’s capitulation in 1945 created favorable conditions for the successful implementation of the August Revolution. On September 2, 1945, in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh, on behalf of the provisional government, proclaimed the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV).

From that moment on, the United States began to openly interfere in the affairs of Vietnam.
