Ho Chi Minh was born Nguyen Sinh Cung on May 19, 1890, in a village in central Vietnam (then part of French Indochina). In 1911, he found work as a cook on a French steamer and spent the next several years at sea, traveling to Africa, the United States, and Britain, among other locations. By 1919, he was living in France, where he organized a group of Vietnamese immigrants and petitioned delegates at the Versailles Peace Conference to demand that the French colonial government in Indochina grant the same rights to its subjects as it did to its rulers. | Ho Chi Minh was born in Nguyen Sinh Cung on May 19, 1890, in a village in central Vietnam (then part of French Indochina).

Inspired by the success of [[Vladimir Lenin]]’s Bolshevik Revolution, he joined the new French Communist Party in 1920 and traveled to Moscow three years later. He soon began recruiting members of a Vietnamese nationalist movement that would form the basis of the Indochinese Communist Party (founded in Hong Kong in 1930) and traveled the world, including Brussels, Paris, and Siam (now Thailand), where he worked as a representative of the Communist International organization. | Inspired by the success of [[Vladimir Lenin]]’s Bolshevik Revolution, he joined the new French Communist Party in 1920 and traveled to Moscow three years later.

When Germany defeated France in 1940, during [[World War II]], Ho saw it as an opportunity for the Vietnamese nationalist cause. Around this time, he began to use the name Ho Chi Minh (roughly translated as “Bringer of Light”). With his lieutenants Vo Nguyen Giap and Pham Van Dong, Ho returned to Vietnam in January 1941 and organized the Viet Minh or League for the Independence of Vietnam. Forced to seek China's aid for the new organization, Ho was imprisoned for 18 months by [[Chiang Kai-shek]]'s anti-Communist government. | When Germany defeated France in 1940, during [[World War II]], Ho saw it as an opportunity for the Vietnamese nationalist cause.

With the Allied victory in 1945, [[Imperial Japan]]ese forces withdrew from Vietnam, leaving the French-educated Emperor [[Bảo Đại]] in control of an independent Vietnam. Led by Vo Nguyen Giap, Viet Minh forces seized the northern city of Hanoi and declared a Democratic Republic of Vietnam (known commonly as North Vietnam) with Ho as president. [[Bảo Đại]] abdicated in favor of the revolution, but French military troops gained control of southern Vietnam, including Saigon, and Chiang Kai-Shek’s Chinese forces moved into the north according to the terms of an Allied agreement. Ho began negotiations with the French in efforts to achieve a Chinese withdrawal as well as eventual French recognition of Vietnam’s independence and reunification of North and South Vietnam. He also gained [[Mao Zedong]] and the [[Communist Party of China]] as allies for added assistance against Chiang Kai-shek's forces. But in October 1946, a French cruiser opened fire on the town of Haiphong after a clash between French and Vietnamese soldiers. Despite Ho’s best efforts to maintain peace, his more militant followers called for war, which broke out that December. | With the Allied victory in 1945, [[Imperial Japan]]ese forces withdrew from Vietnam, leaving the French-educated Emperor [[Bảo Đại]] in control of an independent Vietnam.
