About Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng in brief

Summary Việt Nam Quốc Dân ĐảngThe VNQDD was a nationalist and moderate socialist political party. It sought independence from French colonial rule in Vietnam during the early 20th century. Its origins lie in the mid-1920s, when a group of young Hanoi-based intellectuals began publishing revolutionary material. The party attracted attention through its assassinations of French officials and Vietnamese collaborators. In late 1929, the party was weakened by an internal split. It was eclipsed by Ho Chi Minh’s Indochinese Communist Party. The remnants of the VNZDD fled to the capitalist south, where they remained until the Fall of Saigon in 1975 and the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule. Today the party survives only among overseas Vietnamese. It is not known if the party has any links to the Vietnam War of the 1960s and 1970s, or to any of the guerrilla groups that fought against French rule in the Vietnam war of the 1970s and 1980s. It has been described as a’militant militant organisation’ by the U.S. State Department, which has called it a ‘terrorist organisation’ The party was founded by Nguyễn Thái Học in 1927, after the publishing house failed because of French harassment and censorship. The leader was captured and executed by the French colonial authorities in 1930. The mutiny was quickly put down, with heavy French retribution. After World War II, the ICP briefly joined forces in the fight for Vietnamese independence. However, after a falling out, Ho purged the V NQDD, leaving his communist-dominated Viet Minh unchallenged as the foremost anti-colonial militant organisation.

Some remaining factions sought peaceful means of struggle, while other groups fled across the border to Kuomintang bases in the Yunnan province of China. The French steadily made gains and completed colonization of Vietnam in 1883. Armed revolts against colonial rule occurred regularly, most notably through the Vuong movement of the late-1880s-1890s. In the early-20th century, the 1916 1916 revolts were notable disruptions to the French administration and the Thai Nguyen uprising of late 1925. The group soon attracted the support of young working class working class intellectuals. They published books and brochures about the Sun-atsen and the Chinese Revolution of 1911, as well as opening a free school to teach free ngu ngu to the working class. They soon attracted support of other progressive group of working class teachers and other working class members. They aimed to promote violent revolution as a means of gaining independence for Vietnam from French colonization, and gained support from other working-class groups. In 1925, a group led by a teacher named Tuan Tai and his brother Pham Lam Nam Donga started the Pham Nam Nam Xa Donga group to promote a violent revolution against French colonization. In 1926, the group published books about the Yên Bái Revolution and the Phoc quoc ngu quoc.
