Tóm tắt

   The historic victory of Dien Bien Phu Battle made French colonialists withdraw the troops, ending their direct involvement in Vietnam. The author highlights the Vietnamese national cultural values that were applied by the Communist Party, the Government, the army, and the people in this significant battle. Owing to skilful directions of President Ho Chi Minh and General Vo Nguyen Giap, we changed from the combatant strategy of "swift attack, swift win" to the combatant strategy of "slow advance, certain success". The result proved that it was a clever application of cultural quintessence and military art learned from the history of anti-aggression resistance of our nation and people. Following are major factors for the victory in the battle: 1) Sound political and military guidelines of the Communist Party led by President Ho Chi Minh; 2) Skilful and creative application of Vietnam's military sciences and art in the new epoch; and, 3) Application of patriotism and heroism of our army and people under the leadership of the Communist Party.
