The brilliant golden history
At exactly 11:30 a.m. on April 30, 1975, our army entered Saigon, defeated the Liberation Army, and forced General Duong Van Minh - President of the Saigon government - to surrender unconditionally.
The 1975 general offensive and rebellion, the peak of the Ho Chi Minh Campaign, completely liberated the South and the reunification of the country. The red flag fluttered throughout the South, marking the end of the war, opening the era of independence, unifying and going to socialism.
This is one of the greatest victories in the history of the nation, a brilliant symbol of revolutionary heroism, the will of "nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" and the intelligence of the Vietnamese people. That victory is also an event of international stature, with profound cultural significance in the 20th century.
Assessing the stature and meaning of the Great victory in the spring of 1975, in the political report at the IV Congress (December 14, 1976), General Secretary Le Duan affirmed: The victory in the anti -American resistance war, saving the country will be recorded in the history of the nation as one of the most dazzling pages, the bright symbol of revolutionary heroism and human intelligence, and the great international and the great stature of the twentieth century.
The meeting place of patriotism to create great miracles
Through the study, Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Trong Lam - Director, Editor-in-Chief of the National Political Publishing House Truth - emphasized that the great victory in the Spring of 1975 was the victory of the combined strength created by many factors, in which political and spiritual factors played a particularly important role.
The great victory of the spring 1975 is the crystallization of passionate patriotism, peace, independence, freedom and unity; is a testament to the right and creative leadership of the Party, ingenious ways and arts. It is also the power of the great unity bloc of the entire nation and the valuable support from international friends and progressive people in the world.
To create that miracle is because our Party and State are always steadfast and creatively applying Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's ideology, absolutely loyal to the revolutionary path set out by the Party. Our Party is supported by both domestic and international peoples, successfully fulfilling its mission and historical role - Associate Professor, Dr. Vu Trong Lam emphasized.
Sharing the same opinion, Deputy Chairman of the National Assembly's Culture and Social Committee emphasized that the power of political and mental factors of our army and people in the spring victory in the spring of 1975 created a great motivation, absolute advantage compared to the opponent.The spiritual strength of our army and people is the highest manifestation of beliefs, independent aspirations, determination to liberate the South and unify the country.
It is worth mentioning that the political strength, the mental strength of our army and people are gathered and guided under the proper leadership of the Party, creating the position and force of the enemy, winning the final victory in the 1975 general attack and rebellion in 1975.
"The great victory in the spring of 1975 was a dazzling feat, the great victory of the resistance war against the US, saving the country, ending the years of resilient battle, smashing the war of invasion of colonialism with the largest, the longest, fierce and most brutal scale since the second world war. With the spirit of a nation" decided to bring all the spirit and the forces of the right to keep the right to be the right to keep the right to be the right to be the right to be able The glorious history is the liberation of the South, the unification of the country, bringing our country to the new era - the era of independence, unity, territorial integrity, together to build a socialist Vietnam - rich people, strong, democratic, fair, civilized country ” - Mr. Ta Van Ha emphasized.
When studying the great victory in the spring of 1975 in particular and 30 years of fighting against the French colonialists and the American empire in general, it can be seen that the glue to adhere to the above factors, also the flame that blows the will to fight, fight, and victory of a nation with weak economic potential, scientific level, weapons technology is much inferior to the main enemy, the political and spiritual factor. This can also be considered as our strategic advantage, the power of a army of fighting for justice compared to the professional army but the fighting and brutal fighting.
This was recognized by those on the other side of the front line: While US leaders are increasingly placing more and more hopes on the technique to conquer Indochina, the resistance forces found their main strength elsewhere: In the cultural and spiritual potential of their people[1].
Practice and history show that political and spiritual factors not only promote strong effects in wartime but also need to be aroused and promoted at any time. Exactly 50 years after the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day, our country is moving towards a new era, an era of national growth.
According to General Secretary To Lam, it is an era of development, an era of prosperity under the leadership and rule of the Communist Party, successfully building a socialist Vietnam, a rich people, a strong country, a democratic, fair and civilized society, on par with the world powers.
