 He was the founder of the Indochina Communist Party and it’s successor. He declared that the Vietnamese are independent from the China in September 2nd. He was the leader of the Indochina War, against the French, and he led them to victory. He also led the North Vietnam during the Cold War with him supporting communism which is on the USSR side. It was an act of discrimination to the South Vietnam and the US’ perspectives, but to the North Vietnam and the USSR, it was the right act in their point of views.

Even know Ho Chi Minh believes in communism and he made North Vietnam a communist, I personally still believe that Ho is a hero because he overcame his hardship by work hard and study hard when he was at a young age since his family was poor. He led his country in the Indochina war and also the cold war, Vietnam Civil War. He declared independent of Vietnam, so they were no longer part of China and finally got their freedom.

He was also a leader of a communist party called Viet Minh.
