Communism in Vietnam

Communism in Vietnam is linked to the politics of Vietnam and their pursuit of hegemony. Marxism was introduced in Vietnam with the emergence of three communist parties: the Communist Party of Indochina, the Communist Party of Annam, and the Communist League of Indochina. In 1930, the Communist International (Comintern) sent Nguyễn Ái Quốc to Hong Kong to coordinate the unification of the parties into the Indochinese Communist Party (ICP), with Trần Phú as its first Secretary General. The Trotskyist movement in Vietnam was later purged by the ICP-led Viet Minh, as were several nationalist parties.
