197 Words1 Pages
The people of Vietnam have had many invasions into their country throughout time. The first time Vietnam got invaded was by the Chinese. From 208 B.C. until 1428 A.D. the Chinese were controlling the Vietnamese. Many Vietnamese people fought against the Chinese, but in the end it was Le Loi’s philosophy of “it is better to conquer hearts than to conquer citadels” that helped to push the Chinese out of Vietnam. After the Chinese it was Japan’s turn to try and invade Vietnam. The Japanese ruled Vietnam from 1941-1945. One man by the name of Ho Chi Minh was a major part in taking the Japanese down. Ho Chi Minh organized a group called the Vietminh. The Vietminh, along with help from other nations, defeated the Japanese and regained their freedom.
