On May 10, 1969, President Ho Chi Minh completed his entire historic Last Will and Testament after many years of preparation, revision, and supplementation.

The 8th Central Committee Conference decided to establish the Viet Minh.
On May 10, 1941, the Eighth Conference of the Central Executive Committee of the Party opened in Pac Bo ( Cao Bang ) under the chairmanship of leader Nguyen Ai Quoc. This was one of the conferences that was decisive for the victory of the August Revolution in 1945.
Based on a thorough analysis of the global and domestic situation, the Conference determined that the central task of the Indochinese revolution at that time was national liberation. The Conference advocated focusing the struggle against Japanese fascism and French colonialism, while simultaneously resolving the national question within the framework of each country in Indochina.
The most important highlight of the Conference was the decision to establish the Vietnam Independence League (Viet Minh). The Conference also identified the preparation for armed uprising as the central task; building revolutionary base areas, armed forces, and consolidating national unity.

On March 10, 1950, the National Congress of the French Association of Peace and Freedom Fighters took place in Paris, bringing together a large number of delegates from progressive organizations, intellectuals, workers, and peace-loving forces in France. One of the most important resolutions adopted at the Congress was a resolution demanding that the French government end its war of aggression in Indochina, especially in Vietnam.
The event reflects the growing anti-war sentiment within French society after years of costly war, heavy casualties, and international opposition.
The anti-Indochina War movement in France from 1949 to 1954 created significant political pressure on the Parisian government. It was also part of the global peace movement after World War II, contributing to international public support for the Vietnamese people's struggle for independence.
Celebrating the birthday of Rouget de Lisle - the composer of the French national anthem.
May 10, 1760 is the birthday of Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a French military engineer, poet, and musician, author of the famous song "La Marseillaise" - the French national anthem today.
Rouget de Lisle was born in Lons-le-Saunier, in eastern France. On the night of April 25th to 26th, 1792, amidst the French Revolution and war with the European monarchies, he composed "Chant de guerre pour l'Armée du Rhin" (Battle Song of the Rhine Army). The work quickly spread throughout France, becoming widely known as "La Marseillaise".
With its powerful melody and fervent revolutionary spirit, the song became a symbol of freedom, patriotism, and the French people's yearning for a republic. In 1879, "La Marseillaise" was officially chosen as the French national anthem and remains so to this day.
Rouget de Lisle died on June 26, 1836, in the suburbs of Paris.
