History
During World War II, the Japanese
Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen.[2]
Establishment
Leading up to, and then following, the end of the Vietnam War, the
Tết Trung Thu, continued to be observed as traditionally.[citation needed] In 1985, the PAVN lead the 40th National Day Parade in Hanoi in its biggest parade in history.[4]
The list of full public holidays in Vietnam has been revised since 2007 but National Day, 2 September, remains a full public and bank holiday.[5][6] By 2019, the holiday was lengthened by one day by adding one day immediately before or after 2 September.[7]
