The uprising of the people of Indochina against the French colonialists

The uprising began on August 30, 1930, in the Nam Dan sub-prefecture of Nghe An province. The peasants, armed with knives and sharp bamboo sticks, with red banners in their hands, marched in large columns to the administrative centers of the province. They attacked the posts of the native guard and police, destroyed them and set them on fire. Mandarins and Notables fled from many villages.

The biggest performance took place on September 12th. Tens of thousands of peasants, along with the workers who joined them, marched in close-knit columns to the city of Vinh. The rebels cut off communication with the city and took over the train station. In some cases, soldiers refused to shoot at the rebels. The French administration sent a squadron of planes here from Hanoi, which began bombing the columns of demonstrators. In one day, 250 people were killed and 800 injured.

The French imperialists surrounded the revolutionary provinces and especially the counties where local soviets existed with an iron ring. Strict censorship did not allow any information about what was being done on the territory of the revolutionary counties. Only the leaflets of the Communist Party of Indochina give some idea of the activities of these revolutionary bodies in the revolt-ridden counties. Their main activities were: the expulsion of feudal lords and large landowners from Soviet villages, the confiscation of land from large landowners and their transfer to poor peasants.

All this shows that the local councils in the revolutionary counties of Indochina were not only organs of the uprising, but also the beginnings of revolutionary power. But the enemy forces surrounding them from all sides forced the Soviets, first of all, to organize resistance to the imperialists, who were already pulling together punitive detachments and police forces. The Notables and Mandarins, the agents of the French imperialists in the Indochinese countryside, actively helped the French in suppressing the uprising. They reported the unrest to the authorities and denounced the instigators of the movement. That is why the rebels often burned and destroyed the houses of village notables who had fled under the wing of the French punitive detachments.

The urban poor followed the workers and peasants into the revolutionary struggle. Throughout the period 1930-1931, there were numerous demonstrations by the urban poor in various centers of Indochina. The intelligentsia also took an active part in the struggle.

The large national bourgeoisie, already during the Yenbai uprising, frightened by the scale of the popular movement, defected to the side of the French invaders and the native feudal lords, who are the mainstay of the imperialists.
