THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST PARTY’S POLICIES FOR BUILDING AND MOBILIZING POLITICAL AND SPIRITUAL STRENGTH IN THE RESISTANCE WAR AGAINST THE US AND SAVING THE COUNTRY

Abstract

There were many reasons that led to the victory of the resistance war against America and to save the country, including the reason that the Party built and mobilized political and spiritual strength among the people. By knowing how to arouse spiritual strength in parallel with promoting the building of material strength, the Vietnamese people were capable of resisting a much stronger enemy. By comprehensively applying scientific research methods such as history, logic, analysis, synthesis, the article has systematized and clarified the Party's policy and leadership process in this important work along with the aspect of the country's historical situation at that time. The novelty of the study is that it has shown that the smooth combination of arousing spiritual strength and building material strength helped the Vietnamese people have enough resources and determination to fight a stronger opponent in all aspects. The conclusions not only contribute to summarizing the theory but also draw experiences in order to continue to promote this great strength in the current construction and defense of the Fatherland.
