who is ho chi minh?

Answer 1

Ho Chi Minh was leader of Vietnam for a long time since its independence from France (in 1945). But his revolutionary life had begun a long time before. He was well-known among Vietnamese as a great and beloved leader. Despite being worked for the Communist Internationale (Comintern) and world communist movements, he's now considered more a Vietnamese patriot than a communist due to his contribution to the Homeland. During the Vietnam War when the whole nation was divided into two parts with different political systems, Ho Chi Minh and his government was still supported by a lot of people in the South.

Answer 2

Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese revolutionary and statesman. He was also the Prime minister, and President of Vietnam.

Answer 3

Ho Chi Minh
1890—1969, Vietnamese nationalist leader, president of North Vietnam (1954—69), and one of the most influential political leaders of the 20th cent

An emaciated, goateed figure in a threadbare bush jacket and frayed rubber sandals, Ho Chi Minh cultivated the image of a humble, benign "Uncle Ho." But he was a seasoned revolutionary and passionate nationalist obsessed by a single goal: independence for his country. Sharing his fervor, his tattered guerrillas vaulted daunting obstacles to crush France's desperate attempt to retrieve its empire in Indochina; later, built into a largely conventional army, they frustrated the massive U.S. effort to prevent Ho's communist followers from controlling Vietnam. For Americans, it was the longest war — and the first defeat — in their history, and it drastically changed the way they perceived their role in the world.

To Western eyes, it seemed inconceivable that Ho would make the tremendous sacrifices he did. But in 1946, as war with the French loomed, he cautioned them, "You can kill 10 of my men for every one I kill of yours, yet even at those odds, you will lose and I will win." The French, convinced of their superiority, ignored his warning and suffered grievously as a result. Senior American officers similarly nurtured the illusion that their sophisticated weapons would inevitably break enemy morale. But, as Ho's brilliant commander, General Vo Nguyen Giap said, his principal concern had been victory. When asked how long he would have resisted the U.S. onslaught, he thundered, "Twenty years, maybe 100 years — as long as it took to win, regardless of cost." The human toll was horrendous. An estimated 3 million North and South Vietnamese soldiers and civilians died.

Still revered by the Vietnamese. Considered to be a national hero and patriot by many and hated by many who consider him a traitor for his communist beliefs. A very smart and resourcefull man.
