Hoa Lo Prison which was formerly called “Hanoi Hilton” by the American prisoners. Lots of Vietnamese revolutionaries such as political prisoners as well as patriots against the French colonial Federal government were captured right here.
“Quang hat viel Wissen über den Krieg. Es ist von Vorteil sich vorher schonmal ein bisschen über diesem Teil der Geschichte zu erkunden. So können während der Tour auch spezielle Fragen geklärt werden. Für unseren Geschmack sind die drei Stunden hart an der Grenze der Aufnahmefähigkeit aufgrund des Wetters und der vielen Eindrücke. Quang hat gut englisch gesprochen, war pünktlich und sympathisch. Empfehlenswert ” – Marco, November 2022

Overview about Vietnam
The Vietnam War was a conflict between North and South Vietnam during the Cold War. It began in 1955 and ended in 1975, with the fall of Saigon in the South. During this time, France had a long and complex history in Vietnam, having colonized the area in the late 19th century.
French influence in Vietnam was pervasive, ranging from language, culture, politics, and economics. Vietnamese people experienced a number of changes as a result of French colonization, including increased access to education, improved infrastructure, and the introduction of new ideas and technologies.
However, the French also brought with them a system of colonial oppression, including forced labor and taxation. This led to widespread discontent among the Vietnamese people and ultimately to the Vietnam War.
You love learning more about this part of history, but don’t know the best way to do it? Here are five reasons to join our museum tour to gain a better understanding of the Wars:
There is no better way to understand about the history than having a young local
Our team is youthful and Vietnamese, having been born and raised in a country that had been deeply impacted by the War. Their families, especially their grandparents, shared stories of the hardships they faced during this difficult time, and the team grew up listening to these tales of hardship and resilience. They are now determined to make a difference, to honor the legacy of their families, and to make the world a better place.
Our well-structured timeline covers Vietnam’s history over the past 4,000 years, up to the present day.
The conversation began with the Chinese invasion of the country, a conflict that had lasting effects on the history of the nation and its people. This was followed by the wars against the French and Americans, two of the nation’s most formidable adversaries, each of which left its own distinct mark on the country’s culture, society and politics. Finally, the conversation ended with the Post War period, a time of rebuilding and renewal for the nation, and a period of hope for the future. It was a time of great progress and prosperity, and it provided the nation with a new foundation upon which to build.
