After the end of World War II, the situation in the world did not calm down because of this.

Although the fascist regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan have been eliminated, the contradictions between the Anglo-American capitalist camp and the Soviet communist camp are growing.

In this war, the Soviet socialist camp not only repelled the invasion of the German fascists, but also obtained a large amount of resources from Germany, Italy and other fascist countries, established socialist states on their land, and expanded the strength of the European socialist camp to a point where it was enough to challenge the hegemony of Europe and even the world (the Soviet Union was actually the hegemon of Eurasia).

Under these circumstances, Britain and France, as the last remaining capitalist powers in Europe, began to see the rise of the Soviet Union as a major threat. They feared that the Soviet Union, after its strength had grown, would invade its own territory, overthrow its own bourgeois regime, establish a socialist regime that would be obedient to Moscow's word, and make the bourgeoisie lose its dominance for many years.

As neighbors of Germany and Northern Italy, although France feared the rise of the Soviet Union, they not only did not dare to provoke the Soviet Union, but also connived at the existence of pro-Soviet parties such as the French Communist Party in the form of legitimate parties and even members of the ruling coalition.

In case the French provoked the Soviet Union, the torrent of millions of Soviet troops and tanks stationed in Germany and northern Italy could be reached, and there was even the possibility of bringing out the weapon of mass destruction of nuclear weapons. Even if the Soviet Red Army could not reach Paris, it would inflict heavy casualties on France and cause even greater damage to French cities and industrial facilities.

The British did a completely different approach: not only did they not intend to make friends with the Soviet Union, but on the contrary, they tried their best to sow discord between the Soviet Union and the United States, trying to make the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, check and balance each other, and let the United States stand on the British side as the "big brother of the liberal democratic camp."

In Asia, the Soviet Union succeeded in liberating the entire Korean Peninsula from Japan, establishing a unified socialist regime in Korea, and incorporating the Kuril Islands, Hokkaido, and southern Sakhalin into Soviet territory.

The revolutionary forces in China were also strengthened with the support of the Soviet Union, and all areas north of the Yellow River were liberated, laying a good foundation for the victory of the revolutionary war thereafter.

The reunification of the Korean Peninsula avoided the Korean War in history and enabled the Korean people to develop steadily under the leadership of the revolutionary regime and no longer suffer from war, but this does not mean that there will be no conflict in Asia.

In August 1945, the Vietnam Independence League (Viet Minh), led by Ho Chi Minh, took advantage of Japan's surrender and France's lack of ability to send troops to Indochina in the short term.

Local branches such as the People's Committees across the country quickly gained control of the area, and many districts responded immediately after the uprising was ordered, while the Japanese in the cities were helpless to watch as the Viet Minh rebel forces invaded and took control of the city.

On August 13, the famous Vietminh general Vo Nguyen Gia led his army to capture the Vietnamese city of Thai Nguyen and established an interim government under Ho Chi Minh as its chairman.

A few days later, the Vietminh successfully took over the security forces, police stations and other government offices in Hanoi, and successfully caused a large number of security forces and police to defect to the Viet Minh, so that the Vietminh controlled the security forces in the Vietnamese capital.

In response, the pro-Japanese government of the Vietnamese Bao Dai and the Japanese army, which was about to collapse, did not take any strong action, so that the Viet Minh was in a no-man's land when operating in the major cities, which contributed to the success of the uprising.

Vietnam's nominal monarch, Bao Da, and Prime Minister Tran Trong Kim were unable to control the situation and ultimately decided to cede power to the Vietminh.

On August 20, 1945, Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the Viet Minh, issued the Declaration of Independence at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, officially declaring Vietnam's independence and establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

Later, the north and south of Vietnam were occupied by the British army and the troops of the Chinese government, respectively.

With the support of the Chinese government forces, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese Nationalists formed the first cabinet of North Vietnam, while the British forces in the south gradually "returned" the rule of southern Vietnam to the French, the original colonial ruler of Indochina.

Such a-stirring act by the British certainly aroused the displeasure of the Vietminh.

The Vietminh said that we obviously want to unify the whole country, but at this time, the British army suddenly landed in southern Vietnam, and they forcibly occupied half of Vietnam, and threw this land to the French chicken.

However, in terms of strength, the Vietminh are indeed inferior, they do not have enough heavy weapons and equipment, and they do not have the tall things like planes, tanks, and warships.

In desperation, the Vietminh had no choice but to negotiate with the French on the issue of Vietnam's independence.

At the negotiating table, the Viet Minh side put forward a simple condition: to reunify Vietnam and gain independence.

But the arrogant Gallic chickens refused to unite Vietnam, but also refused to allow North Vietnam to exist as an independent state, demanding independence from North Vietnam as a member of the League of France, while South Vietnam remained colonized by the French.

The contradictions between the two sides on the issue of Vietnam's independence are simply irreconcilable. Even so, the representatives of both sides, under the mediation of the French Communist Party (which was then part of the coalition government and the largest party in France), signed a provisional agreement at the Château de Fontainebleau, which allowed Vietnam to secure a brief period of peace.

However, although the French government signed a provisional agreement, Charles de Gaulle, the chairman of the French provisional government, had no intention of abiding by the treaty, and on the one hand, he pacified the French Communist Party, which was a member of the ruling coalition, and on the other hand, he was actively preparing for war, sending additional troops and heavy weapons to Vietnam, and also began to build fortifications at important points.

The confrontation between France and Vietnam, coupled with Britain's provocation in the middle, made the relations between the Soviet socialist camp and the capitalist countries such as the United States, Britain, and France worse and worse, and the conflicts of interest and contradictions between the two sides also increased.

In addition, the media in Western countries also began to "expose the true face of the Soviet dictatorship," slandered the existing political system of the Soviet Union, attributed the reason for the Soviet Union's current "backwardness and poverty" to the "dictatorship of the Stalin government," portrayed Stalin and other Soviet officials as "centralized tyrants who oppress the people," and even demanded that the United States send troops to "liberate the people under the Soviet dictatorship and bring them freedom and democracy." ”

No matter what the media wrote, it could not change the fact that the Soviet Union was strong and unified, nor could it change the leading position of the Stalin and Bolshevik regimes in the eyes of the broad masses of the Soviet people, nor could it change the established fact that the Soviet regime led the people of the whole country to the road of prosperity and strength, but it would deal a blow to the relations between the Eastern and Western camps and trigger confrontation between the two.
