About Ho Chi Minh

H Ch Minh (), also known as Nguyn Tt Thành, Nguyn I Quc, Bác H, or just Bác “Uncle” was a Vietnamese revolutionary and politician who was born Nguyn Sinh Cung (9 May 1890 – 2 September 1969). His estimated personal worth was $25 million. In what is now Vietnam’s northern French Indochina, Ho Chi Minh was born in 1890.

He had several low-paying jobs, including being a baker, for the most of his twenties while dividing his time between New York and the UK. Around 1919, he relocated to France, where he started to accept communist philosophy. He also requested, unsuccessfully, that the Vietnamese people’s human rights be recognized at the Versailles peace negotiations during that time.

Vietnamese revolutionary and politician Ho Chi Minh had an estimated net worth of $25 thousand dollars at the time of his death, in 1969. Hồ Chí Minh, born Nguyễn Sinh Cung was also known as Nguyễn Tất Thành, Nguyễn Ái Quốc, Bác Hồ, or simply Bác.

Before moving to southern China in 1923, he relocated to Moscow and enrolled at the Communist University of the Toilers of the East, a training facility for communists in central and southeast Asia. He traveled extensively throughout southern Asia in the 1920s and 1930s, occasionally returning to Europe, all while assisting communist organizations.

Control of the North by Ho Chi Minh

He went back to Vietnam in 1941 to take the helm of the Viet Minh communist independence campaign. In the wake of the August Revolution in 1945, Ho declared North Vietnam independent. Ho, who had just taken control, forged a deal with France to aid in the expulsion of Chiang Kai-Republic shek’s of China Army, stating that he would prefer to deal with France for five years than China for the rest of his life.

However, France didn’t appear to have any future plans to grant Ho and North Vietnam complete independence, which sparked the Indochina War, which lasted from 1946 to 1954. He met with Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin in Moscow in 1950, where they both agreed to support the Viet Minh and for the Soviet Union to recognize Ho’s leadership.

Crackdown under Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnam War

In the 1950s, Ho Chi Minh repressed dissidents, resulting in 200–900,000 deaths from executions, concentration camps, and hunger. In the years leading up to the Vietnam War, American troops started to enter the South in 1965. As they fought against American and South Vietnamese forces, Ho would offer support to the Viet Cong communists in the south. He would not, however, live to see the end of the conflict as he passed away in September 1969 from heart failure.

Ho Chi Minh’s legacy

Vietnam still has a very high regard for Ho. The largest city in the newly united nation was renamed Ho Chi Minh City when Saigon fell in 1975. At addition to being depicted on all Vietnamese banknotes, his embalmed body is on display in a sizable tomb in Hanoi.
