Hô Chi Minh aurait 122 ans aujourd'hui. Le fondateur de la République démocratique du Viêt Nam est né le 19 mai 1890 à Hoàng Trù.
Il a vécu à Paris de 1921 à 1923, où une plaque rappelle ce séjour.
Il est mort le 2 septembre 1969, à Hanoï.
Hồ Chí Minh (19 May 1890 – 2 September 1969), born Nguyễn Sinh Cung and also known as Nguyễn Tất Thành and Nguyễn Ái Quốc,
was a Vietnamese Marxist-Leninist revolutionary leader who was prime minister (1945–1955) and president (1945–1969) of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam).
He was a key figure in the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945,
as well as the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and the Việt Cộng (NLF or VC) during the Vietnam War.
He led the Việt Minh independence movement from 1941 onward, establishing the communist-governed Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945
and defeating the French Union in 1954 at Điện Biên Phủ.
He officially stepped down from power in 1955 due to health problems, but remained a highly visible figurehead and
inspiration for Vietnamese fighting for his cause – a united, independent Vietnam – until his death.
After the war, Saigon, the capital of Republic of Vietnam, was renamed Hồ Chí Minh City in his honor.
