[edit] Reason for deleting

Tien Quan Ca is just not the national anthem for the Socialist Republic of Vietnam because it was adopted in 1946. About 30 years prior, the communist won the war. --Krystyn Dominik 06:23, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well of course it is, but according to one of his last interviews, Tien Quan Ca was composed primarily to be a patriotic song, reflecting his feelings for his struggling nation and also a reflection of what he saw during which the time he was in Viet Mihn; Tien Quan Ca was composed for the Doc Lap newspaper, whilst he was an apprentice.

Ho Chi Mihn then selected Tien Quan Ca as the anthem of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, right after the revolution and subsequently the declaration of independence, so to say, it would not be quite appropriate to state that Tien Quan Ca was composed for any country. However, for all that is concerned, Tien Quan Ca is the national anthem of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the conventional long-form of the present-day, unified Vietnam.

To state that Tien Quan Ca is the anthem of "Vietnam", excludes that there was another anthem for South Vietnam before the Vietnamese reunification. Slivester 17:05, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the clarification. --Krystyn Dominik 21:33, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In addition, I did some more basic research on him and you're definitely right. I revert before my silly deletion. --Krystyn Dominik 21:49, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
