RESISTANCE FIGHTERS OF NAM CON FOREST

The “Nam Con forest” likely refers to Con Dao Island, a former penal colony that played a key role in Vietnam’s resistance against French colonial and later American-backed forces. Though not an actual forest, the island’s rugged terrain and prison facilities became a center for political prisoners and independence fighters, who formed resistance networks and strategies despite harsh conditions. The infamous “tiger cages” and the Con Dao Museum now stand as reminders of the brutality endured and the resilience shown by inmates. Remembered for the courage and sacrifices of those who resisted oppression, Con Dao is a powerful symbol of Vietnam’s struggle for independence.
