Việt Bắc

Việt Bắc (Northern Vietnam) is a region of Vietnam north of Hanoi that served as the Viet Minh's base of support during the First Indochina War (1946–1954).

Việt Bắc is also called the capital of northernmost Vietnam because this area was the location of the headquarters of the Vietnam Communist Party at the period before the rising against French domination in 1945, and the location of the headquarters of the Viet Minh government during the war of resistance against the French colonialists.
