This holiday is always celebrated on September 2nd.<\/p>\n
The day marks Vietnam’s declaration of independence from France on this day in 1945. It is the national holiday of Vietnam.<\/p>\n
In 1887 Vietnam became part of French Indochina. During World War II, Vietnam was occupied by the Japanese.<\/p>\n
Following the end of the war, on September 2nd 1945, following the ‘August Revolution’, Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam).<\/p>\n
Despite the differences that grew between Vietnam and the USA, the Vietnamese declaration of Independence itself drew heavily from the American version<\/p>\n
In 1976, the two halves of Vietnam were finally united into one country, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, but September 2nd remains as the key date in Vietnam’s road to independence.<\/p>\n
To celebrate Vietnam’s national day, there are speeches, parades, fireworks, and other festivities across the country, with a large march in Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, where the Declaration of Independence was made.<\/p>\n
This is a very patriotic holiday with the national flag of Vietnam displayed everywhere and large posters of Ho Chi Minh (‘Uncle Ho’) adorning city walls.<\/p>\n
If employees work on National Day, they receive an increase of up to 400% of their normal wages. While employees who work night shifts should be paid at least 30% higher than normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
