Japan surrendered to the allies ending WW2 in 1945; Japan departed Vietnam the same year. Vietnam declared its independence from France in 1945. Vietnam was occupied by Japan during WW2, but it had been a French colony for more than a century prior.
Win independence from Japan
In September of 1940, Japan seized possession of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. In 1941, the Viet Minh, which was the League for the Independence of Vietnam, was founded.
Hours after Japan's surrender in World War II, Vietnamese communist Ho Chi Minh declares the independence of Vietnam from France.
After Japan was forced out of Vietnam in August 1945, Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam's independence from French colonial rule on September 2, 1945. He proclaimed the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, citing the principles of freedom and equality as outlined in the Declaration of Independence. This declaration marked a pivotal moment in Vietnam's struggle for sovereignty, setting the stage for future conflicts with both France and the United States.
During World War II, Vietnam was occupied by Japan. The Japanese took control of Vietnam in 1940, exploiting its resources and using it as a base for military operations in Southeast Asia. The occupation lasted until Japan's defeat in 1945, which subsequently led to Vietnam's push for independence from colonial rule.
Japan left Vietnam because the US won the Vietnam War. The US effectively kicked them out of the area. This was preventing China from invading Vietnam as well.
Japan fought Vietnam during that war
Japan obtained its independence from its colonists in 660 BCE.
Who said "Nationalism lead to independence in India and Vietnam?" India and Vietnam have nothing to do with each other. India was a crown colony of the UK until the end of WWII. British India was never conquered by Japan; although the British/allies did stop the Japanese army at Imphal in 1944 which was as deep as the Japanese army got into India during the war. After WWII, the British simply granted independence to India (no longer a crown colony). Vietnam was taken from France by Japan (no matter how politically correct historians want to word the conquest, it was taken) during WWII. When WWII ended in 1945 Japan relinquished her conquests, and Vietnam was one of them. When France attempted a return to Vietnam, the nationals (Vietnamese) resisted (called the 1st Indo China War or French Indo China War). That war went on from 1946 until 1954.
Japan's military leader was Minamoto Yoritomo.
