A few months later the war ended with the defeat of Japan and Allied troops were dispatched to Vietnam to set up a temporary military govern• ment. But while they were on the way, the independence of the country was proclaimed for the second time wilhin a year, by a group called League for Vietnam Independence, better known by the shorter name of Victnamisc. (Vietnamese Commu• nists ) Their leader was Ho-Chi-Munh, a communist who had spent time , training in Mocao Ho-Chi-Minh proclaimed himself president of the new republic and was actually recognized by the French for a short time. Cheu claimed that France had violated the unity of Viet• nam. Ho launched a full scale war against France in Hanoi on Dec. 19, 1946 From secret headquarters in the mountains of North Vietnam, Ho-Chi- Minh directed a relentless fight against the French, whose main Northern bastion was the rice rich Red River delta. At the same time the rebel government came more and more un• der Communist domination. Beginning in 1951, the United States poured in 3,000,000.000 dollars worth of war material and money into the French cause.
