From March 13 to May 7, 1954, the Viet Minh’s relentless fight at Dien Bien Phu delivered a crushing blow to French colonialism. This victory didn’t just end decades of imperial, colonial rule - it ignited hope for liberation struggles worldwide.

Just a year later, the Vietnamese people would continue their struggle for full liberation of their homeland from imperialist designs, and on April 30, 1975 defeated the US and its proxy force.
