Hanoi

President Ho Chi Minh reads the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square

On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, before millions of fellow citizens, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, founding the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This was the greatest historical event in modern Vietnamese history, marking the end of nearly a century of French colonial rule and the overthrow of a feudal order that had existed for thousands of years.
