Ho Chi Minh
Ho Chi Minh (1890-1969) was the founding leader of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the dominant figure of the Vietnamese independence movement. He co-founded the Indochinese Communist Party in 1930, declared independence from France in 1945, led the Viet Minh to victory at Dien Bien Phu (1954), and inspired the National Liberation Front's insurgency against South Vietnam and the United States. He became a symbol of anti-colonial resistance across the developing world.
