If you're really interest in history and honestly want to tell it as it is, you should not keep on repeating the US' propaganda about the Geneva Accords of 1954. Please read the documents yourself. Nowhere in those documents stipulates and nobody talks about the division of Vietnam into two separate states. Both Vietnamese governments at that time, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the French puppet State of Vietnam claim the whole Vietnam and oppose any division. In fact, the Accords specifically say that 'the military demarcation line is provisional and should not in any way be interpreted as constituting a political or territorial boundary.' So you're completely wrong when you said the division into two separate states was a result on the Accords.
History is the past! the current human job is to build lasting peace
Fact: when someone praises Vietnam or people in vietnam celebrate the country's anniversary , there will be some distorted comments from exiled traitors who agree with what the United States has done to Vietnam. They always find ways to distort the history of Vietnam, distort the Vietnamese government because of the bitterness. We often call them "3 rods".
Truong Sa, Hoang Sa in VietNam Ok!!!
We Vietnamese love peace, fight for the ideals, liberate the nation, we are very friendly and hospitable 🇻🇳 ❤
Người Pháp đã từng đặt những bước chân phi nghĩa lên đất nước chúng tôi. Nhân dân Việt Nam anh hùng thà hy sinh tất cả chứ không chịu khuất phục, không chịu làm nô lệ. 💪❤️
Nationwide fellow! We want peace, we must make concessions. But the more we conceded, the more French colonialists came, because they were determined to rob our country again! Are not! We would rather sacrifice everything, but definitely refuse to lose our country, and definitely refuse to be slaves. Dear fellow! We must stand up! Any man, woman, any old person, young person, regardless of religion, party, or ethnicity. As a Vietnamese, they must stand up to fight the French colonialists and save the country. Who has a gun gunpoint. Whoever has a sword uses a sword, but who does not have a sword, use a hoe, a spade, and a stick. Everyone had to fight against the French colonialists to save their country. Brethren soldiers, self-defense, the militia! Time to save the country. We must sacrifice up to the last drop of blood, to preserve the country. Despite the hardships of the resistance war, but with a determination to sacrifice and victory for our people! Vietnam is independent and unified for years Resistance war victory Viva Hanoi, December 19, 1946 Ho Chi Minh
Quá tự hào việt nam hồ chí minh. Đánh đuổi phát xít nhật.thực dân pháp. Đế quốc mỹ.4 nghìn năm trung quốc. 1 đất nước có bề dài lịch sử.

I love Viet Nam
The Terminator: "hasta la vista, baby" The NVA: "we're blowing up everything, adieu"
Vietnam is a dangerous country Win war
My grandfather fought for Viet Minh at Dien Bien Phu and he still has a bullet inside his back from this battle until he died (2016). He told me the story about this battle and other battles he went through for hundred times but never disappointed me, always attractive and so many lessons. So pound.
Thanks ! 🇻🇳
Dear America, when you engage against Asia. Leave the French behind.
The blurb about Ho Chi Minh at the end sorta underscores the attempts (and murders) to stifled other independence parties from rising
Future generation: "Bro just drop nukes" yare yare....
1:25 lol 😂 the troops are papers?!
Khỉ rừng
Ho chi minh: Nothing is more important than Freedom and Independence, even if we have to sacrifice our lives for it
Ít nhất phụ đề có tiếng việt để còn hiểu
Respect the way you using Vietnamese traditional music.
The proud French might never want to learn any lessons from their ex-attendee for Vietnam before was the brave Japanese ....,😆
Ko có tiếng việt nam
Small but martial Vietnam defeated two superpowers, Dien Bien Phu, and Dien Bien, in the air, shook the earth, ending colonialism and the war.
Việt Nam muôn năm
VIET SUP PLEASE
French army after 1940 was awful
4:36 song?
Vietnams are not handsome.
wishing history was just america nuking a bunch of random third world countries rn
Its also important to note that the southern government did not accept the outcome of the Geneva confrence. The US used this as a pretext to also reject the outcome, preventing the agreed to elections for a unified state and backing an anti-communist government in the South. Kind of like the USSR in North Korea.
Tiếc là méo có vietsub
What movie name French vs vietnam? Only American Vietnam movie
RISING STORM BE LIKE
At the beginning, Dien Bien Phu: French: YES NEW SUPPLIES!!! Also French: What the hell Is This?!? Bespoke Post: say thank you
Henri Navarre: *decides to go to Dien Bien Phu, a remote village* Viet Minh: Don't try it, French Fries, we know this area better than you do *Hours go by...* French: AHH WE'RE UNDER ATTACK Viet Minh: Now you're really French Fries
13:41 Vietnam was not divided, The 17th parallel was just a "provisional military demarcation line". The division of Vietnam was intended to be temporary, with elections planned for in 1956 to reunify the country.
The man who suggested using tactical nuke was pure evil.
Holding 2 months while being outgunned and outnumbered 8 to 1, repeling waves after waves of attacks, doing bayonet charges to retake lost ground, daring night raids in Vietminh lines and one man last stands. This battle is just incredible and must be the most heroic defense of the last 70 years.
Vietnam won and america lost the war.
Human history never being change.... When I used to studies about world war 1 and 11, how mercilessly we are, such an arrogant!!!!!!! We all are created by God we don't need to fight amongst nation to nation!!!!!!! Peace be with us.
3:35 It says French Camodia instead of French Cambodia
Cần có phụ đề tiếng Việt 😉
There's an interesting point. The Viet Minh cannons used to fight were all from China. Since they could not transport them by directing to the battle, they removed every part of the cannons and left it down the Red River. At a secret gathering point near the riverbank, they would take it back and build cannons. Even when they opened the way to drag cannons into Dien Bien Phu, it was a job to prevent the French discovery
I blame eisenhower for vietnam, just goes to show you that you can't kick the can down the road when it comes to foreign policy.
The Vietnamese are just being too kind to the imperialist, if it is me I wouldn't send my men to capture those forts immediately, but instead, deploy more anti air guns and artillery to starve these enemies to death while they are still desperate sending more supplies and men into the fortifications, draining their country of war efforts.
It really breaks my heart to hear this brutality by the west. That is why eventhough china have a evil regime i still support my fellow asians against the oppressive west.
Thank you for the video!
To liberating Paris from Nazi occupation to being liberated from Vietnam by Vietnamese freedom fighters -France
Shout out the the People of Vietnam beautiful ppl✌️✊✊
You just need 2 things for debacle, over estimate yourself n underestimate enemy. US still didn't learnt, even after soviets embarrassing themselves in Afghanistan, they again went in n Talibs are still there everywhere, even after so many years
your ads within ads bro
According to former US State Dept official (.SAVING THE EWORLD FROM THOSE NASTY COMMIES ) WAS JUST A PLOY USED TO TRY AND JUSTIFY THE EXPANSION OF THE AMERICAN IMPERIAL EMPIRE . The fight for Vietnamese unity and independence was led by "Father of the Nation HO CHI MINH * Vietnamese communist ,who" LED A PEOPLES WAR "TAKING IN MANY ETHNICMINORITIES ,INC CATHOLICS . BUT MAINLY BUDDHIST ,SOME WHO HAD DRAWN ATTENSION OF THE WORLD MEDIA TO THEIR PLIGHT UNDER THE FOREIGN BACKED CATHOLIC DICTATORSHIP BACKED BY FRENCH THEN AMERICAN GENOCIDAL POLICIES .
What a dumb location to have this major baatle. Building a base surrounded by hostile held mountains.
Think about it, communism came out of the Russian revolution into ww2 and then into Vietnam. It is now in mainstrram media all over the globe incl this website.
So basically the French built their fortification in the middle of nowhere where it is difficult if not outright impossible to resupply during battle, let themselves get surrounded on all sides in the hopes that the enemy destroys themselves assaulting their defenses?????? France you just stick to waving white flags and baking your baguettes and never ever go to war again.
Lol youre savage
The vietnamese certainly had a strong will to win.
The United States, doing our best to clean up European weakness since 1917.
i've never heard giap's name pronounced with a z before.
I was brainwashed by vietnam war hollywood movies as a kid, that the vietnamese were the bad guys. But few years ago I was enlightened. Viva north vietnam!!
Yeah they literally fought for their freedom after many years of colonialism, any semblance of hope or power of course they will take it, even if it's communism and they're justified to do that
Never forget the atrocities that the French and the western powers did!
14:44 this a meme
great video except at 13:38. You can say "Western-backed", "US-backed" or "US allied" but calling South Vietnam "democratic" is absolutely ahistorical
When France left the countries it conquer only a bare poor neglected cities
