He was trained in Moscow involving revolutionary tactics (Columbia Encyclopedia 2008).
Minh had a strong desire to make Vietnam an independent country and spent his whole life in pursuit of this dream. In southern China, Minh trained the exiles in techniques involving revolutionary tactics. According to by 1925 he had organized the exiles into the Viet Nam Thanh Nien Cach Menh Dong Chi Hoi (Revolutionary Youth League) and the inner group within the Revolutionary League, the Thanh Nien Cong San Doan, or Communist Youth League (CYL) (Wars and Battles 2010 the Revolutionary). Years of oppression and hardship drove the Vietnamese people to join Minh in his ideals. The seemingly ordinary man was highly educated according to all sources referred and his drive inspired those around him to join his fight.
In 1930, the French crackdown on the popular rising of the Communist supporters sent thousands to jail and Minh to Hong Kong where he served time in prison under the British crackdown on insurgents in the area.
Minh was influential in the Japanese defeat in the area in World War 2 assisting the United States and allies in the war with Japan. It was during this time that Minh and his supporters learned the art of guerilla warfare in part from the Americans and Chinese. They defeated the Japanese and recaptured some of the land from them during the war.
Ho Chi Minh based his ideals on the capitalist value system as...
Had the United States been more sympathetic to the Vietnamese call for independence the outcome could have persuaded Minh to be even more capitalist but instead he found his allies with the Chinese and Russian Communist Parties. He borrowed from the United States Declaration of Independence in a speech to his countrymen in which he stated: "All men are born equal.

Conclusion
The information on the life of Ho Chi Minh is scarce and varies depending on the source being referred. The one fact that is contained in all the research is the fierce loyalty and desire of Minh to liberate Vietnam and make it a sovereign nation. He lived in several countries and tried on numerous occasions to get the rest of the world to join his fight for Vietnamese independence.
The resistance of the Capitalist nations to assist him and his cause lead to the merging with the Communist Party in efforts to garner the support of Russia and China. The education and training Minh received in his travels around the world along with his fierce determination to free the Vietnamese people lead the Vietnamese people to follow Minh.
Even though his was deeply involved in the Communist Party, Minh used several of the ideals from the Capitalist Party to help him in his setting up the basis for his country.
Language of the Declaration of Independence We are so familiar with the language of the Declaration of Independence that it comes as something of a surprise to us to examine its previous incarnations. Of course on the one hand we should not be surprised that the first draft should have required some revisions - although as our readings note it is in fact astonishing how polished and complete Thomas Jefferson's original

He consistently mentions how important it is to throw off geographical boundaries and beliefs, and unite in a common goal of freedom and liberty. He also notes that the Constitution is meant to be amended, but it must be treated with respect, rather than used as an instrument of power or greed. He warns against "alterations which will impair the energy of the system," and urges the people to give
In spite of their superiority in number, armament and war techniques, the British hopes in the alliance with Southern loyalists failed. They became vulnerable targets to the guerrilla tactics they were not used to. Cornwallis has to keep retreating from South Carolina and then from North Carolina, although in the beginning he placed great hopes in his naval forces that were far more superior than those of the enemy's.

Second Reconstructions One of the most dramatic consequences of the Civil War and Reconstruction was that the South was effectively driven from national power for roughly six decades. Southerners no longer claimed the presidency, wielded much power on the Supreme Court, or made their influence strongly felt in Congress But beginning in the 1930s, the South was able to flex more and more political muscle, and by the 1970s some
