After 30 years of wandering to find a way to save the country, in early 1941, Uncle Ho returned to the country and directly led the Vietnamese revolution. Faced with developments in the world situation that were favorable to the Vietnamese revolution, in early May 1945, Uncle Ho decided to move from Pac Bo (Cao Bang) to Tan Trao, Son Duong, Tuyen Quang to prepare the necessary conditions for the General Uprising to seize power from the hands of fascists and colonialists.

On August 16, 1945, the National Congress met at Tan Trao communal house to elect the National Liberation Committee (ie the Provisional Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam) with comrade Ho Chi Minh as Chairman, decided to launch a general uprising to seize power throughout the country, making the August Revolution a success.

On August 19, 1945, before leaving Tan Trao for Hanoi, President Ho Chi Minh, with his strategic vision, predicted the resistance war against the French colonialists and directed the continued consolidation and construction of the revolutionary base in Tuyen Quang.
