August Revolution, National Day marked in Japan
The Vietnamese Embassy in Japan hosted a gathering on August 20 to celebrate the 77th anniversary of August

The August Revolution of 1945, led by the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh, was a monumental event that transformed the country. It ended nearly a thousand years of feudal monarchy and colonial rule, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the first people's democratic state in Southeast Asia. This revolution marked the beginning of a new era for the Vietnamese people, characterized by national independence and socialism.
The achievements of the August Revolution laid a crucial foundation for the entire Party, people, and military to continue striving for significant victories in the struggle for national liberation, protecting the homeland, unifying the country, and building a socialist state that is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Furthermore, the August Revolution of 1945 had a profound international significance, inspiring colonized nations and oppressed peoples worldwide to rise up and fight for independence, democracy, and social progress. The lessons learned from this revolution remain relevant today, emphasizing the importance of the Communist Party's leadership and the need for unity among the Vietnamese people.
As we commemorate over 80 years since this historic event, the spirit of the August Revolution continues to shine brightly, guiding the nation towards a prosperous future. The revolution embodies the enduring aspirations of the Vietnamese people for independence and freedom, serving as a beautiful symbol of patriotism and national unity.
