🚩 Flag of Vietnam

The national flag of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, previously presenting the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, was originally designed in 1940 and first used during a failed worker and peasant uprising against the French colonialists in Cochinchina that year. The red background symbolizes revolution and bloodshed. The golden star symbolizes the soul of the nation and the five points of the star represents the five main classes in Vietnamese society—intellectuals, farmers, workers, entrepreneurs, and soldiers.
