WHAT DOES NORTH VIETNAM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

North Vietnam

The Democratic Republic of Vietnam, generally known as North Vietnam, was a communist government founded in 1945, comprising most of North Vietnam from September 2, 1945 to December 18, 1946, controlling pockets of territory throughout the country until May 7, 1954, and governing territory north of the 17th parallel until 1976, when the government led by the Communist Party reunified with the Southern Provisional Government under Hanoi. As an era of post-dynastic Vietnamese history, the republic was preceded by the Nguyen Dynasty and followed by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The state was proclaimed by Ho Chi Minh in Hanoi in 1945 after assuming power following the abdication of Emperor Bảo Đại a few days earlier, Later that year, the French reoccupied Hanoi and the First Indochina War followed. Bảo Đại became head of the Saigon government in 1949, which was then renamed the State of Vietnam. The DRV was re-established formally in the eyes of the West following the 1954 Geneva Conference at the end of the First Indochina War, when the country was partitioned at the 17th parallel.
