HO CHI MINH (Nguyen T\u00e2t Thanh) was the founder and President of the People\u2019s Republic of Vietnam. From the end of the first World War until 1969, his leadership for independence highlighted both the tenacious resistance of the Vietnamese people to their own tyrannical regimes and a long series of invaders and colonizers: the Chinese, the Mongols, the French and the Americans. Westerners, not considering his requests, found themselves at war\u00a0and had to retreat in a most humiliating way. He \u00a0often was called \u201cUncle Ho\u201d, but he changed a hundred times his identity. He was imprisoned, tortured and exiled several times. He lived over thirty years in various regions of the planet, shaping his world view with a combination of various ideologies and political regimes. That\u2019s why he guided the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in a particular way\u00a0different from the two Communist giants: the USSR and China.<\/p>\n
