In September 1945, Vietnam declared independence. Immediately afterwards, the French army quickly returned with the help of the British army to reestablish control over Vietnam, which was a French colony from 1884 to 1945. The Vietnamese people under the leadership of the Viet Minh, headed by Ho Chi Minh, stood up against the French. On September 23, 1945, the French army invaded Saigon and provinces in Southern Vietnam, including Ca Mau. The people of Ca Mau courageously stood up against the French army. The struggle took place mainly in the military field, it took place fiercely in river areas, with guerrilla tactics and achieved resounding successes. This struggle lasted 9 years, and in the end, the French army was forced to leave Vietnam in the spirit of the Geneva Accords on restoring peace in Vietnam and Indochina.
