![[Flag of the Provisional Viet-Nam Republic Government]](../images/v/vn}vnqd.gif)
by Chrystian Kretowicz
In 1932, one of the most nationalistic and anti-colonial parties of Vietnam -
VNQD (Viet-Nam Quoc Dan Dang), proclaimed, in Canton (Guangzhou), the
Provisional Viet-Nam Republic Government. The flag they chose, heavily
influenced by the Chinese Nationalist flag, was red with the party's banner in
the canton, which was blue five white disks connected by bars. "In early
1941, the VNQD joined the (Communist) Workers Party of Viet-Nam, as well as
others opposed to both the French and Japanese, in the Viet-Nam Doc Lap Dong
Ming Hoi, the League for the Independence of Viet-Nam, which came to be known as
the Viet Minh." (Thomas A. Cseh & John
Sylvester Jr)
