Answer:
1.Hours after Japan’s surrender in World War II, Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh declares the independence of Vietnam from France. The proclamation paraphrased the U.S. Declaration of Independence in declaring, “All men are born equal: the Creator has given us inviolable rights, life, liberty, and happiness!” and was cheered by an enormous crowd gathered in Hanoi’s Ba Dinh Square. It would be 30 years, however, before Ho’s dream of a united, communist Vietnam became reality.
2.In the northern-hemisphere summer of 1940 Germany rapidly defeated the French Third Republic, and colonial administration of French Indochina (modern-day Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia) passed to the French State (Vichy France). In September 1940 Japanese troops first entered parts of Indochina; and in July 1941 Japan extended its control over the whole of French Indochina. The United States, concerned by Japanese expansion, started putting embargoes on exports of steel and oil to Japan from July 1940. The desire to escape these embargoes and to become self-sufficient in resources ultimately contributed to Japan's decision to attack on December 7, 1941 the British Empire (in Hong Kong and Malaya) and simultaneously the USA (in the Philippines) and at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii). This led to the USA declaring war against Japan on December 8, 1941. The US then joined the British

In front of hundreds of thousands of spectators, Ho proclaimed Vietnam an independent country on September 2, 1945. He opened with terms that any American schoolchild would recognise.This enduring proclamation was included in the United States of America's Declaration of Independence in 1776. In a broader sense, this means that everyone on the planet is created equal and has the right to live, be happy, and be free.
2. Only at the conclusion of the war (in March 1945), when the Japanese started to worry that the French soldiers would turn against them as defeat drew closer, did the French government, which had partnered with the Japanese occupation forces, finally fall. The final French-appointed emperor of Vietnam, Bao Dai, was permitted to declare his nation's independence and designate a national government at Hue after the French had been disarmed. However, all real power remained in the hands of the Japanese military commanders.
