Question 1. Summarize Japan's economic development from 1952 to 1973.

This was a period of rapid development, especially from 1960 to 1973 and is often called the "miraculous" development period. Japan rose and became one of the three financial economic centers of the world along with the US and Western Europe.

Question 3: 1. What do you think about the statement "Vietnam has the right to freedom and independence?"

Students need to state the following ideas:

- Affirm the rights of the Vietnamese people to be equal to all other peoples in the world.

- Expressing the determination and oath to maintain the independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people. That is also contributing to protecting the "principle of national equality" of progressive humanity.

2. Selected events from the periods 1945 - 1954, 1954 - 1975 to clarify the determination of the Vietnamese people in the struggle to maintain freedom and independence.

Students can choose any event in the two periods above, but need to have clear arguments, evidence, and reasoning. Suggestion: December 19, 1946 => After a period of diplomatic struggle, both flexible and determined to maintain the independence just gained after the August Revolution, but the French colonialists were determined to invade our country, tear up the Preliminary Agreement and the Provisional Agreement, and resolutely invade, we resolutely stood up to fight to protect independence and freedom with the opening event being the National Resistance Day (December 19, 1946).

Question 4 1. The content of the Geneva Agreement states:- First: "In Vietnam, the Vietnamese People's Army and the French expeditionary army gathered in the two regions of the South and the North, taking the 17th parallel (along the Ben Hai River - Quang Tri) as a temporary military demarcation line with a demilitarized zone on both sides of the demarcation line"; at the same time, it was also stated that "Vietnam is moving towards unification through a free general election throughout the country to be held in July 1956, under the control and supervision of an International Commission (including India as Chairman and two members, Poland and Canada) => Thus, the Geneva Agreement did not directly divide Vietnam into two countries with the border at the 17th parallel, but only had a number of provisions, from which the US and the Ngo Dinh Diem government took advantage to divide themselves and establish a new country in South Vietnam.

2. This is an open-ended idea, students can choose one of the following suggestions but need to have clear evidence and reasoning:

+ Resolutely maintain and protect independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Resolutely fight against any threatening actions from outside forces.

+ Strengthen national unity through forms of national united front.

+ Persistently uphold the Party's leadership…

* What should young people do to contribute to strengthening and developing that factor:- Clear arguments, closely following the role and mission of the young generation towards the nation and people: Ready to live and fight to protect the Fatherland, ready to leave when the Fatherland needs.
