Who ruled vietnam until world war II How did communism rise in this country?

Until World War II, Vietnam was ruled by French colonial authorities as part of French Indochina. The rise of communism in Vietnam was largely influenced by the socio-economic hardships under colonial rule, widespread poverty, and nationalist sentiments.
