The French Indochina War 1946-1954 (aka 1st Indochina War).
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.
The 1st Indochina War was to oust the French; the 2nd Indochina War was to oust the US. Both Indochina Wars involved the communists.
