The Dien Bien Phu victory on May 7, 1954, was Vietnam’s biggest victory in the French resistance war from 1945 to 1954, resulting in the signing of the Geneva Accords on ending the war and restoring peace in Indochina. The stunning Dien Bien Phu victory offered huge support to colonised nations around the world to rise up to fight against colonialism and imperialism.
The Dien Bien Phu victory resulted from the Party’s leadership and military intelligence, as well as the Vietnamese people’s aspiration for independence and freedom, which was also a core factor in helping the nation win over various invaders across different time periods.
Dien Bien Phu’s liberation was the key victory of the struggle for freedom and peace and positively influenced national liberation movements across the world.
