If I recall, while reading my history textbook in the 10th grade, I don't know if it is instantly verifiable or not but after WWI, there was a guy who complained in front of Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George and others about his nation, Vietnam, being a colony and not independent or something in that regard. That man's name was Ho Chi Minh.

I only recited a good amount from memory, I can't remember the exact story, but whether it be true or not it was in my textbook and so it would be interesting to hear your response on that.

"Ho Chi Minh"

There are some compelling stories about Bac Ho (e.g., his references to the US Constitution and to Abraham Lincoln), but here's the one that is most important, IMO:

Ho Chi Minh was *co-founder* in the 1920's of the **French** (yes, French) Communist Party and later, founder of the Communist Party Of Indochina.

His ideology was a bit more than simple Vietnamese nationalism.

I don't recall anything like that. It would not surprise me though.


Would you want to be colonized by the French?
