In the past, Vietnam had 90% population of peasants. The land for agricultural cultivation for the peasants was a top issue of CPV. In fact, “the land for peasants” issue was defined in the political credo made by General Secretary Tran Phu in 1930, it said: “demolish the feudal class and redistribute the land for peasants”. The campaign was a goal of the people’s nationalist democratic revolution of Vietnam.
Therefore, right after the August Revolution 1945, the CPV planned to reform the land step by step. By 1953, the critical situation of the resistance against French colonists and to encourage the peasants to get into the revolution, the Central Party had launched a mass program on tax and interest reduction and started the land reformcampaign.

It reflects the great achievement resulted from the campaign in sense of a new society and the changes in social classes, philosophy, labor power and relations of production.
