The red flag with a five-pointed yellow star first appeared in the 1940 revolutionary movement in Cochinchina. According to some researchers, the person who designed this flag was Nguyen Huu Tien (from the old Ha Nam province). He joined the revolution very early, was captured and exiled by the enemy, then escaped from prison and worked in Cochinchina. After the 6th Central Conference in 1939, the Cochinchina Party Committee assigned him to design the flag for the uprising.

In 1941, the Viet Minh program determined that "after expelling the French and Japanese imperialists, a people's government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam would be established, using the red flag with a five-pointed yellow star as the national flag."

After the victory of the August Revolution in 1945, on September 5, 1945, President Ho Chi Minh issued Decree No. 5-SL, establishing the Vietnamese national flag as a red flag with a five-pointed yellow star.
