Ho Chi Minh delivering his address in Hanoi on 2
September 1945 after the August
Revolution. "All men are created equal. They are
endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the
pursuit of Happiness" This immortal statement was
made in the Declaration of Independence of the
United States of America m 1776. In a broader
sense, this means All the peoples on the earth
are equal from birth, all the peoples have a
right to live, to be happy and free. The
Declaration of the French Revolution made in 1791
on the Rights of Man and the Citizen also states
"All men are born free and with equal rights, and
must always remain free and have equal rights."
Those are undeniable truths. Nevertheless, for
more than eighty years, the French imperialists,
abusing the standard of Liberty, Equality, and
Fraternity, have violated our Fatherland and
oppressed our fellow-citizens. They have acted
contrary to the ideals of humanity and justice.
In the field of politics, they have deprived our
people of every democratic liberty.
