What is the overall gist of the Declaration of Independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam?

The declaration of Independence by The Democratic Republic
of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam) was delivered by the President Ho Chi
Minh in Hanoi on 2 September 1945.

The declaration stresses
upon the fact that Vietnam was under the French for over 80 years. During this period
the Vietnamese had to face a lot of hardships. Later when the Japanese attacked Vietnam
during the World War II, the French did not resist them and instead handed over Vietnam
to Japan. People were again treated in a merciless manner by the Japanese and millions
lost their lives.

The Vietnamese deserve the freedom that
they have achieved and for which they fought the French and later the
Japanese.

The declaration stresses on the fact that it is
now universally acknowledged that all men and women deserve to be treated equally and
hence the people of Vietnam too have the right to claim their
independence.
