(1) The role of wars for protection of the Fatherland

- Protecting independence, unity, and territorial integrity:

The wars for protection of the Fatherland were the decisive keys to maintaining national independence, ensuring national sovereignty, and territorial unity. Through wars against foreign invaders, from the resistance against the Han Army, the Mongol-Yuan Army, to the resistance against the French, and then the Americans, Vietnamese people demonstrated strength and tenacity in preserving their independence. These wars allowed Vietnam to survive and develop up to today, without being erased or divided by oppressive invading forces.

- Laying the foundation for the formation of the nation and ethnicity:

Wars for protection of the Fatherland profoundly impacted the formation and development of the nation and ethnicity. They were challenges not only in military terms but also opportunities to build political institutions, foster unity, and affirm national identity. Each victory in these wars not only helped consolidate independence but also promoted national unity, creating a great solidarity bloc, despite ethnic, linguistic, and regional diversities.

- Impacting national management and development policies:

The outcomes of wars for protection of the Fatherlands significantly influenced management policies and national development. In the war context, leaders had to strategize military, financial, and human resources appropriately. They also needed to adjust foreign policies to address invading forces while developing internal policies to strengthen the national spirit and nationwide unity. Valuable experiences from these wars aided subsequent generations in managing and developing the country more effectively.

(2) The significance of wars for protection of the Fatherland

- Shaping the tradition of patriotism and resilience:

Through wars for protection of the Fatherland, the tradition of Vietnamese patriotism was formed and robustly developed. From resisting the Han and Mongolian invaders to the resistance wars against the French and Americans, Vietnamese people demonstrated their steadfastness, perseverance, and indomitable spirit in fighting for freedom and independence. The fighting spirit stems not only from the need to protect land but also affirms the nation's self-determination and the right to live. This tradition remains a powerful driving force in the new era of nation-building and defense.

- Invoking a spirit of unity and national pride:

Each national defense war was an opportunity for the Vietnamese people to demonstrate unity, collectively fighting for a common goal. During the harsh war years, the Vietnamese populace transcended differences in locality, ethnicity, and religion to unite in combat. This spirit became an invaluable national asset, passed down from generation to generation, while national pride was strongly evoked. This helped Vietnam steadfastly withstand challenges and confidently engage in integration and development in later periods.

- Reinforcing faith in the cause of independence and freedom:

Each victory in wars for protection of the Fatherland, whether military or moral, reinforced faith in the struggle to protect independence and freedom. Great victories like the Battle of Bach Dang and victories in the resistance wars against the French and Americans affirmed that nothing could violate the self-determination of the Vietnamese people. This stands as evidence of the indomitable power of the nation throughout history.
