Q4: Relationship between ww1 and ww2 and how VN involved in these 2 ww?
The First World War (WWI) was fought from 1914 to 1918 and the Second World War (or
WWII) was fought from 1939 to 1945. They were the largest military conflicts in human
history. Both wars involved military alliances between different groups of countries.
World War I was centered on Europe. The world warring nations were divided into two
groups namely ‘The Central Powers’ and ‘The Allied Powers’. The central powers group
consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. The Allied powers group
consisted of France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and (from 1917) the U.S.
World War II, the opposing alliances are now referred to as “The Axis” and “The Allies”.
The Axis group consisted of Germany, Italy, and Japan. The Allies group consisted of
France, Britain, the U.S., the Soviet Union, and China. World War II was especially heinous
because of the genocide of Jewish people perpetrated by the Nazis.

During the world war, France implemented the policy of "command economy" ( kinh tế chỉ
huy), plundering all human and material resources to serve the war, meeting the
requirements of Japan.
When Japan entered Indochina, France surrendered to Japan, colluded with Japan to
dominate and exploit the Indochinese people, causing the Indochinese people to suffer two
layers of oppression. The conflict between the entire Vietnamese nation and the invading
imperialists and henchmen developed increasingly fierce. Therefore, the task of liberation is
set urgently.
On March 9, 1945, the Japanese coup d'etat France in Indochina, high-ranking French
officials were arrested. Japan returned "independent" to Vietnam under the "protection" of
Japan. On August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allies, this was the event that Ho
Chi Minh had been waiting for since France was defeated in 1940. Immediately after the
conflict, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam declared independence.
