Ho Chi Minh

I am going to talk about Ho Chi Minh and the significance of himself. How he was an important person in the role of Vietnamese Communism. I will give you his life story and how he became in Vietnam and why he came up with the Communism and why it was so significant in Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh was born in 1980 in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh is a cover up name for him which he was gaven to as he entered the war. His actual name is Nguyen Tat Thanh. Before Ho Chi Minh took over the Indochinese Communist Party he was a kitchen hand and a pastry's cook assistant. He was a young vietnamese nationalist and he led the Indochinese Communist Party. In 1917 Ho settled in Paris where he started to read books by Karl Marx where he then came condemed to Communism, when the French Communist party became Ho became one of the founder members. Ho recieved weapons and ammunition from the soviet union, then after the bombing of pearl harbour they also recieved utensils from the united states. Ho went to Hong Kong as a representative of the communist international. But June 1931 he was arrested by the British Police but remained in prison until 1933. Then he went back to the soviet where he spent many years recovering from tuberculosis. When Japan occupied vietnam in 1941 Ho resumed contact with there ICP leaders and helped find a new communist independent movement called vietminh which then fought the Japanese. Then when Japan surrendered vietminh seized power and proclaimed the democratic public of vietnam in Hanoi. When this happened Ho then became President. Then while Ho was the president he tried to contruct a communist socieity in North Veitnam. Conflict resumed in the South, where Communist-led guerrillas made an insurgency against the U.S.-supported group in Saigon. Ho, now in poor health, was reduced to a largely ceremonial role, while policy was shaped by others. On september 2nd 1969 Ho died in Hanoia Vietnam due to a heart attack. After the communist conquest they renamed the city Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City. Ho was not only the founder of Vietnamese Communism, he was the very soul of veitnams struggle for independence. He was very repspected in Vietnam and in many other countries and surrounding areas. Ho Chi really wanted Vietnam to be a Communist country and he tried his absolute best to help it become a communist country. Ho received aid from China and the united states then he fought the Chinese and extended his influence to others all across the country, By May 1945, Ho had already manages to free six provinces from the Japanese then took control of the government. Ho then moved his government into the mountains of north vietnam, then began roughly nine years of warfare. The war actually helped Ho out significaintly in becoming Communist. This helped him because Vietnam people did not have to be Communist in order to fight against the french and the ranks of viet minh raised drastically.
