Ho Chi Minh was born in Vietnam in 1890. His father, Nguyen Sinh Huy was a teacher employed by the French. He had a reputation for being very extremely intelligent but his unwillingness to learn the French language resulted in the loss of his job. To survive, Ho Chi Minhs's father Nguyen Sinh Huy was forced to travel throughout Vietnam, offering his services to the peasants. Usually it involved writing letters and providing medical care to them. As a nationalist, Nguyen taught his children to resist the rule of the French. Not surprisingly, they all grew up to be committed nationalists willing to fight for Vietnamese independence. Read More: []
