Hồ Chí Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Hanoi after the August Revolution. The declaration invoked the language of universal rights and rejected French claims to restore colonial rule. France did not recognize Vietnamese independence, and the conflict escalated into the First Indochina War. The declaration made explicit that victory over fascism had not settled the question of colonial sovereignty.
