In the 17th Century, French missionaries arrived in Vietnam. The Catholic priests received a friendly welcome from the Vietnamese people and they were allowed to live and work in the country. However, the Vietnamese authorities became concerned when the missionaries began to recruit the local people to Roman Catholicism. The converted Catholics were told to abandon their religious customs including that of taking several wives. The missionaries also instructed their followers to give their loyalty to God rather than to their Emperor. Hostility towards the Christian missionaries grew and over the years there were several cases of priests being murdered.
Prior to WW2, France colonized Indochina. Japan took it during WW2, surrendered it when they lost WW2. France returned to Indochina, the Vietnamese under Ho Chi Minh resisted with military force...the 1st Indochina War (also called the FRENCH INDOCHINA WAR) 1946-1954.

Born Nguyen Tai Thanh in 1890 in Vietnam, he arrived in Paris in 1917 where he supported himself at odd jobs. He became a founding member if the French Communist Party in 1920, and visited the Soviet Union in 1924. He went to the Chinese border with Vietnam, helped form the Viet Minh and fought the occupying Japanese. His hope was to free Vietnam from foreign rule, both Japanese and French Colonial. He died in 1969.
The Vietnam War officially ended on April 30, 1975. This was the day when North Vietnamese forces captured Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, effectively marking the end of the war and the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.

Vietnam didn't exist until 1975. That is incorrect Vietnam was first mapped and included in a empire in 1069-1759 until it went under French rule. Vietnam became independent on September 2, 1945.

The role was the same for all peasants thru out time: provide the labor for the rulers (the rich) to make money. It happened to the English peasants, the Russian peasants, and the French peasants (in France)...and it happened in Vietnam (French Indochina). Peasants provide the labor force; the Colonial ruler provides the funding, organization, and the product.
