The call for a General Strike

Part of storyHo Chi MinhView in story ›

Time: Monday Sep 24, 1945

Place: Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Details: In Saigon, with violence between rival Vietnamese factions and French forces increasing, the British commander, General Sir Douglas Gracey, declared martial law. On 24 September, the Việt Minh leaders responded with a call for a general strike.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
