Dien Bien Phu victory ends nine-year war of resistance against the French colonialists |
On December 6, 1953, in Phu Dinh Commune, Dinh Hoa District, President Ho Chi Minh chaired a Politburo meeting approving the strategic plan to attack French colonialists during the Winter-Spring of 1954.
The attack ended with the historic Dien Bien Phu victory in May 1954, which became a global event that surprised the whole world and helped end the Vietnamese nation’s nine-year war of resistance against the French colonialists.
The Dien Bien Phu victory is also closely attached to the name of General Vo Nguyen Giap, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign./.
