'''Hồ Chí Minh''' (19 May 1890 – 2 September 1969), born as '''Nguyễn Sinh Cung''', also known as '''Nguyễn Tất Thành''', '''Nguyễn Ái Quốc''', '''Bác Hồ''' ("Uncle Ho") or simply '''Bác''' ("Uncle"), was a Vietnamese revolutionary and politician who is considered to be one of the most influential figures of [[Cold War]]-era Asia. He served as Prime Minister of North Vietnam from 1945 to 1955 and then its President from 1945 until his death in 1969. Ideologically a Marxist-Leninist, he served as Chairman and First Secretary of the [[Indochinese Communist Party]].

Hồ Chí Minh led the Việt Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the Communist-ruled Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 and defeating the French Union in 1954 at the battle of Điện Biên Phủ. He officially stepped down from power in 1965 due to health problems. After the war, Saigon, the former capital of the Republic of Vietnam, was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. He was a key figure in the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945 at the Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi as well as the People's Army of Vietnam and the [[Việt Cộng]] during the [[Vietnam War]].

Any description of Hồ Chí Minh's life before he came to power in Vietnam is necessarily fraught with ambiguity. He is known to have used at least 50 and perhaps as many as 200 pseudonyms. Both his place and date of birth are subjects of academic debate since neither is known with certainty. At least four existing official biographies vary on names, dates, places, and other hard facts while unofficial biographies vary even more widely.
