Land Reform In North Vietnam
Land reform in North Vietnam (Vietnamese: ''Cải cách ruộng đất tại miền Bắc Việt Nam'') was a major campaign by the Communist government of North Vietnam between 1953 and 1956. The goal was to take land from landlords and give it to poor farmers. Influenced by China’s example, the reform included land redistribution, rent reduction, and class struggle. Many landlords were accused of crimes, publicly criticized, imprisoned, or executed. The campaign caused fear and division in villages, and thousands of mistakes were later admitted by the government. In 1956, a “Rectification of Errors” campaign was launched to correct these problems.

On 9 March 1945, several years after occupation in Indochina, Japan instigated a mi ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
