Saigon, the former capital of South Vietnam, was renamed Ho Chi Minh City in his honor. North Vietnam was ultimately victorious against South Vietnam and its allies. Hồ officially stepped down from power in 1965 due to health problems and died in 1969. He was a key figure in the People's Army of Vietnam and the Việt Cộng during the Vietnam War, which lasted from 1955 to 1975. The Việt Minh defeated the French Union in 1954 at the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ, ending the First Indochina War, and resulting in the division of Vietnam, with the Việt Minh in control of North Vietnam, and anti-communists in control of South Vietnam. After the French returned to power the following month, Hồ's government retreated to the Việt Bắc region and began guerrilla warfare.
Then, Hồ led the August Revolution against the Japanese in August 1945, which resulted in the independence of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. In 1930, he founded the Communist Party of Vietnam and in 1941, he returned to Vietnam and founded the Việt Minh independence movement, an umbrella group. He was also one of the founding members of the French Communist Party. From 1911, he left French Indochina to continue his revolutionary activities. Hồ Chí Minh was born in Nghệ An province in the French protectorate of Annam.
Ideologically a Marxist–Leninist, he was the Chairman and First Secretary of the Workers' Party of Vietnam, the predecessor of the current Communist Party of Vietnam.
He served as Prime Minister of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam from 1945 to 1955, and as President from 1945 until his death in 1969. Hồ Chí Minh ( né Nguyễn Sinh Cung 19 May 1890 – 2 September 1969), commonly known as Uncle Ho (Bác Hồ), President Ho (Hồ Chủ tịch) and by other aliases and sobriquets, was a Vietnamese communist revolutionary, nationalist, and politician.
