History
The National Road 1A was constructed by the French colonists in early 20th century. It has been upgraded recently by Japanese ODA as well as loans from World Bank. During both the First Indochina War and Second Indochina Wars (the Vietnam War), Road 1A was the site of a number of battles between Vietnamese forces and French or America troops. One of the most notable engagements was the French "Operation Camargue" in 1953.
