As a result of the Great Depression of the 1930s, Vietnamese had been suffering from unemployment, indebtedness and rural uprisings. Despite the dstress of the common Vietnamese, the French colonial government repressed the rural uprisings very brutally. In the year 1930, Vietnamese nationalist Ho Chi Minh founded the Vietnamese Communist (Vietnam Cong San Dang) Party, later renamed the Indo-Chinese Communist Party. After the occupation of Vietnam by Japan in 1940 the Vietnamese fought with both the French as well as the Japanese. As the nationalists fought back Japan, e Democratic Republic of Vietnam was established with Ho Chi Minh as the Chairman. However, the new republic was faced with several major challenges to its authority. The French sought to regain control over Vietnam by propping up a puppet regime with Emperor Bao Dai at its helm. They also launched an offensive against the Vietminh and forced them to retreat into the hills. However, after fighting a bitter battle for eight years, the French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Despite their superior military, the French faced a comprehensive defeat.
