Ho Chi Minh
He was born in 1890, May 19th. Born in his mother village, he started in his youngness to read the Marx- Lenin ideas and started to rebel to the French government as Vietnam as the French Indochina. But Ho Chi Minh role in this Cold War, started as he becamed the President of Democratic Republic of Vietnam, or North Vietnam, or the communist Vietnam. He defeated the French Union in 1954. He ruled Vietnam in the first years of the war, and then the capital city of South Vietnam was called “Ho Chi Minh City”.
The Domino Theory, as the dominoes fall just because ONE fall, there was this theory that stated that if an Asian country failed into communism, all the Asian countries, finally would fall into it. First China, the Asian giant, then the neighbor: Korea. Then Vietnam. And as Laos and Cambodia started to fall, it stopped as the Cold War began to end; Thailand, Malaysia, Burma, and India never fall.
