RATIONAL In uprisings, wars or revolutionary movements, the issue of revolutionary base � the rear � has become a canon, and at the same time is the factor that often decides the victory of the wars, the uprisings or revolutions.

The history process of the world and of the Vietnamese people has confirmed this fact. Inheriting the tradition of defeating the invaders to protect the nation of our people, basing on the grasping thoroughly and applying creatively Marxism � Leninism on uprisings and revolutionary wars to our country, in the process of leading the revolution in Vietnam, President Ho Chi Minh and the Communist Party of Vietnam (the CPV) attached special importance to the issue of building the revolutionary bases. This is one of the factors that brought about the triumph of the revolution in Vietnam. The success of the August Revolution in 1945 was partly thank to the Bac Son � Vu Nhai base, the Cao Bang base, the liberated area of Viet Bac and dozens ofmilitary zones all over the country.

When the resistance war against the French colonists began, President Ho Chi Minh and the Central Committee of the CPV chose and developed Viet Bac revolutionary base into the headquarter of the resistance war. Many liberated areas, revolutionary base � rears were built all over the country, such as those in the provinces of Thanh � Nghe � Tinh and Nam � Ngai � Binh � Phu, areas of Dong Thap Muoi, U Minh, the D Military Zone�This is a very important factor that led to the success of the war against the French colonists and American interventionists (1945-1954). From 1954 to 1975, in order to resist the invasion war of the US � the most powerful imperialist country in the world since World War II, the CPV led a revolutionary war to liberate the South, protect the North, unify the country, completing the people�s national democratic revolution in the whole country. In order to accomplish this great revolutionary mission, apart from developing the North into a strong rear, being the revolutionary base of the whole country, the Party also had the policy of building and developing the system of revolutionary bases in the strategic areas of the South such as Tri Thien, Tay Nguyen, Middle � Central Region, Southern Central Region, Eastern South Region and Western South Region.

Due to the influence of the objectives and missions of the revolution, as well as due to the influence of the natural, economic, political and social conditions, there were different forms of bases with different sizes in the South in the period of the resistance war against the US. On the other hand, the revolutionary bases in the South in this period not only had similarities but also differences defined by the history of the localities. Nevertheless, all the bases contributed to building the great potential that enabled the people and revolutionary military of the South to defeat the invasion war strategies of the American imperialists. With the great aforementioned role and position, the issue of revolutionary base has become a significant part of the revolutionary war in the South in the period of resistance war against the US imperialists.

This is a historical object that needs to be studied to clarify the role and the position of a mode of revolutionary war, contributing to providing a full explanation of the history of the great resistance war against the US imperialists carried out by our people. The issue of the revolutionary bases developed during the resistance war against the American imperialists not only needs and has to be restored and assessed objectively with its manifestations but also needs to be focused on clarifying of the prominent local and regional particularities of the bases situated in the strategic areas of the South. In order to contribute to carrying out the aforementioned research objectives and research tasks, it is very necessary to undertake research in the revolutionary bases in the Middle � Central Region (which includes Da Nang City, Quang Nam Province, Quang Ngai Province, Binh Dinh Province, Phu Yen Province). This is the strategic area of great importance in the Military Zone V, is the gate from the East Sea to the Central Region and Central Highlands; is the springboard to go in strategic directions and other battlefields, and at the same time it is also the first terminal to receive the aid from the North by sea and by land.

Therefore, the Middle � Central Region was the place of fierce fighting between our troops and the enemies�. Here, many revolutionary bases were built, such as the Song Da Quarter (Da Nang Province), Nuoc Oa, Nuoc La, Son � Cam � Ha, Tien Son (Quang Nam Province), Tra Bong, Son Tay (Quang Ngai Province), Nui Ba, Hon Che (Binh Dinh Province), Tho Lo, Van Hoa (Phu Yen Province)�The revolutionary bases in the Middle � Central Region fulfilled well their functions and missions, contributing greatly to the victory of the resistance war against the American imperialists in the region as well as of the whole Vietnamese people. The history of formation and development as well as the contributions of revolutionary bases in the Middle � Central Region in the resistance war against the US imperialists have attracted the interests of scholars. However, up till now, due to many reasons, this topic has only been mentioned generally in the research into the resistance war against the US imperialists in the battlefield of the Military Zone V and the studies of local history.

Therefore, the research in the topic of Revolutionary bases in the Mid � Central Region in the resistance war against the American imperialists (1954-1975) is significant in terms of science and practice. In terms of science, the thesis elucidates the process of formation, development, the role, position and characteristics of revolutionary bases in the Mid � Central Region in the resistance war against the US imperialists to salvage the nation. Through this, the research can help to supplement documents to clarify the leading role of the executive committees of the Party at different levels in the issue of revolutionary bases; the flexibility and creativity in the activities of organizing and developing the bases in different regions. The findings will contribute to elucidating the Party�s line of people�s war and the strategy of building the revolutionary bases, which were applied creatively to the reality of the resistance war against the American imperialists to salvage the nation at the Mid � Central Region.

The research findings of the thesis also contribute to supplementing the knowledge of the history of the resistance war against the American imperialists in general and especially for the Mid � Central Region in particular. In terms of practice significance, initial lessons can be learnt from the research findings, which is necessary to serve the implementation of building the security � national defence battlefield posture in the local at present. The research findings of the thesis will also contribute to educating the tradition of patriotism and revolution for Vietnamese people of different groups, and are the base for restoring and preserving the monuments of the revolutionary bases built in the resistance war against the American imperialists. This is also a valuable source of material for researching and teaching to students at different education levels about the history of the resistance war against the American imperialist to salvage the nation.

It is because of the aforementioned science and practice significance, we chose the topic of The Revolutionary bases in the Middle � Central Region in the resistance war against the US (1954-1975) for the PhD thesis in the study field of History of Vietnam. RESEARCH OBJECT AND RESEARCH SCOPE Research object: The process of building, protecting and upholding the role of the revolutionary bases in the Mid � Central Region in the resistance war against the American imperialists to salvage the nation. Research scope: In terms of time: From 1954 to 1975. However, in order to have a logical presentation of the major contents, the thesis includes general description of revolutionary bases in the pre � 1954 period.

In terms of space: In the period of the resistance war against the French colonialists, the area of the Mid � Central Region include the local provinces of Quang Nam � Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen. In the period of the resistance war against the American imperialists, from July 1962, the government of the Republic of Vietnam divided Quang Nam � Da Nang into 2 provinces of Quang Nam and Quang Tin. Quang Nam Province by then included 9 districts: Dien Ban, Duy Xuyen, Dai Loc, Duc Duc, Hieu Duc, Hieu Nhon, Hoa Vang, Que Son, Thuong Duc and the town of Da Nang. The Quang Tin Province included 6 districts: Hau Duc, Hiep Duc, Ly Tin, Tam Ky, Tien Phuoc and Thang Binh.

For the revolutionary government, from the end of 1962 to 1967, the province of Quang Nam � Da Nang was divided into two provinces of Quang Nam and Quang Da. Quang Nam province (called Quang Tin by the government of the Republic of Vietnam) included the districts of Que Son, Thang Binh, Tam Ky, Tien Phuoc, Phuoc Son, Tra My. Quang Da Province (called Quang Nam by the government of the Republic of Vietnam) included the districts of Que Son, Thang Binh, Tam Ky, Tien Phuoc, Phuoc Son, Tra My. The Quang Da (called Quang Nam Province by the government of Republic of Vietnam) included the districts of Hoa Vang, Dai Loc, Dien Ban, Duy Xuyen, Dong Giang, Tay Giang, Nam Giang, the Town of Hoi An and Da Nang City.

From 1964 to November 1967, on implementing the directions of the Party�s Executive Committee of the Military Zone V, the city of Da Nang separated from the Quang Da Province and included 3 districts of First District, Second District and Third District. In November 1967, before the Tet Offensive, Quang Da Province and Da Nang City combined into the Special Zone of Quang Da. In comparison to the provinces of Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, although Quang Nam � Da Nang was the area that experienced many separations and mergences, in essence, the administrative border of this locality did not change.
