Following the victory of the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the Geneva Conference was established on July 20, 1954, to address the issue of “Restoring Peace in Indochina.” This is a significant victory for the revolution of Vietnam in general and the South in particular after nine years of long resistance war under the leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, which forced the French Government to pledge to respect Vietnam’s independence, sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
At the end of June 1954, the United States appointed Ngo Dinh Diem as the Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Vietnam to suppress the peace movements, and sabotage the agreement. Under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, people from all classes flexibly applied many forms of public and lawful struggle to enlist all forces and sectors to participate in revolutionary activities.
