What caused communism in Vietnam?

Answer 1

Ho Chi Minh, founder of "Communist" Vietnam, originally was not Communist. But to overthrow the French from French Indochina (Now Vietnam); Minh needed military support. First going to the USA, America turned down this offer, since America and France were close allies. Minh, naturally, went to the second world superpower, The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The USSR, helping spread anti-capitalist, made Ho Chi Minh swear allegiance to the USSR and to Communism in support for military support.

So in short, the only reason why Vietnam is Communist today is because Ho Chi Minh needed help freeing Vietnam from the French and the USSR offered its support in exchange for Vietnam becoming a Communist State.

Answer 2

From 1945 (the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic Bombings which ended WW2) until about 1990 (the Berlin Wall came down in 1989) there was a cold war. A cold war is a MILITARY STANDOFF. This "Military Standoff" was between the Communist World and the NON-Communist World. In 1950 to 1953, the communists attempted to take a country by force (South Korea); they failed. In 1955 to 1975, using different techniques this time...the communists attempted to take a country by force, again (South Vietnam); this time, they succeeded.

Answer 3

The nation still exists. The nation seems to have a decent product line (goods) for global trade; the Vietnamese people appear to be forging ahead...as indicated by their well made products; they have a tourist industry...maybe they are communists in name only...or maybe they're a NEW TYPE of communist peoples...ones that flow with the times.

Answer 4

It was the percieved threat of a Communist takeover of South Vietnam that prompted Eisenhower and Kennedy to introduce advisers into the conflict.

Answer 5

There was an entire war that separated Vietnam. Currently Vietnam is split into 2 and one is communisy and the other is not. It divided the country and they now hate eachother.
