The importance of the war is that Ho Chi Minh wanted Vietnam to become a communist country. France was part of the Ally Powers in World War II and they were against communism. Since Vietnam won the war, there was another communist country along with Russia in Asia, and that is not what the Ally Powers wanted.

After the Japanese surrender in World War II, Vietnam had no single national government. A man named Ho Chi Minh rose to power in North Vietnam, and declared themselves as a free and independent country. The British and the Japanese didn't agree with it, so they decided to declare North Vietnam as a colony of France, which then led to the First Indochina War.
