The leader of the Vietnamese communists who were militarily victorious over the French and the American imperialists. Ho Chi Minh was the leader of the league "Viet Minh" (which is the league of independence.) He was the one that declared INDEPENDENCE for Vietnam.
For the younger generation back then, Ho Chi Minh had been a founder of the communist party in North Vietnam & a "Hero" & victor against the French.
The Soviet Union supported Vietnam because not only were they communist but they supported them because they were using the Vietnamese people to fight the United States. Which in other words it is called a proxy war.

The REPUBLIC of SOUTH Vietnam didn't come about until 1954/55.- Not responsive to question. Harry Truman communicated with Ho Chi Minh(president) but did not formally "recognize" the Democratic Republic of Vietnam(north vietnam). John F. Kennedy made a big noise later about no formality so that he(JFK) could make the Democratic Republic of Vietnam someone he could speak as an enemy so that he could get votes. Truth was that the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was an allyof the Inited States.

Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnam as an independent nation.
Because the Viet Minh from the 1st Indochina War (aka French Indochina War) would be the equivalent to the Viet Cong of the American Vietnam War. The NVA would not be included in this analogy because both the Viet Minh & Viet Cong did not come from a recognized nation (the Viet Minh were from an unrecognized country and the VC were actually insurgents against their own government the Republic of South Vietnam). The NVA were actual soldiers inducted, trained, uniformed, and equipped by the nation of North Vietnam; they were the army of North Vietnam (North Vietnamese Army).
Ho Chi Minh was at power in North Vietnam during Vietnam War and he was a Communist.
Ho Chi Minh. Current president of Vietnam (Nguyen Minh Treit )
That was Ho Chi Minh. He wrote a proclamation of independence from France, for the nation of Vietnam, in 1945.
Ho Chi Minh was really a dictator, not a elected President. He had ruled North Vietnam since 1955, after the defeat of the French at Dien Ben Phu. He was the hero of the Vietnamese people, having been a guerrilla leader against the Japanese in WWII and then again against the French. The Americans had even supported him during WWII! He ultimately defeated the United States and South Vietnam because he and his leadership and the fighters who fought and died for him, believed in total victory, no longer how long it took. We totally underestimated the depth of support the people had for Ho Chi Minh.
