South Vietnam
How was the communist party in Vietnam originally organized? and what seperated them from South Vietnam?
I really need some help understanding what led up to the Vietnamese revolution against the france as well as the vietnam war. please help me in anyway possible as well as leaving sources.
The Vietnamese revolution against France has much to do with Vietnam’s long history of ousting those who tried to conquer that country. The Chinese, Mongols, Japanese, Champa, Siamese (now Thailand) and America are among the other countries and kingdoms who unsuccessfully tried to dominate and control Vietnam. France was doomed to a revolution against them even before they invaded Vietnam and colonized what was then Indochina.
France broke their promise to Ho Chi Minh’s Viet Minh forces to liberate Vietnam after World War II in exchange for their resistance against Japanese occupation of Vietnam. Instead, France tried to retake their colonies in Southeast Asia. This lead to the French War or first Indochina War. France was eventually defeated by the Viet Minh at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and then to the Geneva Accords.
The Geneva Accords was to temporarily split the country into the communist controlled North and democratically controlled South and reunite it after a countrywide election overseen by the UN. The vote never happened. The U.S. took over France’s involvement in South Vietnam, and the rest is history under another topic.
The communist party in Vietnam was founded and organized by Ho Chi Minh. Ho was instrumental in starting communist parties in France and China and studied communist doctrine in the Soviet Union. Ho organized the Communist Party in Vietnam under the shadow of liberating and reunifying Vietnam.
