The Battle of Thái Nguyên, fought in Thái Nguyên, was a small battle of the August Revolution, between the Viet Minh and the Empire of Japan. The battle lasted from 17 to 25 August 1945.
Battle
On 16 August, 1945, the Viet Minh forces led by Võ Nguyên Giáp entered Thái Nguyên.[3]
During the battle itself only sporadic fighting broke out, as the Japanese were situated in an old French fort and the Americans were all, except for Major Thomas, away from the battle in an outside safehouse. On 25 August the final battle at Thái Nguyên ended with the Japanese "surrendering" agreeing to stay confined to their post. This marked the liberation of the city of Thái Nguyên from Japanese rule, after the battle ended Thái Nguyên erupted in celebrations and held an independence parade. From this point onwards the Americans completely disassociated themselves from engaging in the August Revolution.[citation needed]
After few days, Viet Minh seized Thái Nguyên with minor casualties and Giáp founded the People's Revolutionary Committee in Thái Nguyên.[4]
