The The 1st Indochina War also known as the French Indochina War was a fight for independence. The 2nd Indochina War also known as the American Indochina War or American Vietnam War was a fight against communist aggression.
The Vietnamese wanted independence mainly because of it's war-torn history. it had also had a very long history of being occupied and ruled by foreign oppressors. a combination of both these led to a very strong nationalistic feeling amongst the Vietnamese people which made people like Ho Chi Minh strive for Vietnamese independence. Ho chi Minh was first a nationalist and seconded a communist. The ICP (Indochina communist party) formed in 1930 by Ho Chi Minh was not very successful. However the Viet Minh, formed in 1941, was a lot more popular. this is because the people of Vietnam were nationalists - they wanted independence, not communism. Ho chi Minh dreamed of Independence , he found communism to be the answer to his dreams - his path to achieving independence.

Does Gandhis non-violence approach have a place in vietnam's independent movement?
I personally think that all of Gandhi's movements helped too starta lot of independent movements in different areas of the world. Although I cannot answer the exact question that is asked, I do believe that it probably did have a part in the Vietnam's independent movement. Gandhi's work had to have some kind of effect on the people in Vietnam. Even though it may have just had an effect on a few of the people in Vietnam, those few people may have talked to there friends about it and therefor stirred something up, causing the independent movement in Vietnam.
