Brief Biography
Ho Chi Minh was born in northern Vietnam to a mother and father both opposed to French rule in the country. Between 1912 and 1913, he lived and worked at menial jobs in Boston and New York City. In the early 1920s, after living in Paris, Ho embraced Communism. During World War II, with the secret help of the United States, Ho organized the Viet Minh in armed rebellions against forces from Vichy France and Japan and became a Vietnamese national hero. After helping drive the French out of Vietnam in the mid-1950s, Ho was widely expected to be elected head of a unified Vietnam; however, the United States refused to let the election happen and Ho began to support the attempts of rebel forces in South Vietnam to overthrow the American-backed government. During the Vietnam War, Ho lived in Hanoi, where he died in 1969, before seeing the unification of Vietnam. -
