Becoming Modern Case of Japan and China

Other Ways of Becoming Modern : Japan and China: Early Vietnamese nationalists had a close relationship with Japan and China. In the first decade of the 20th century, Go-East Movement became popular. Some Vietnamese students went to Japan to acquire modern education. They wanted to re-establish the Nguyen dynasty and for this, they appealed to the Japanese as fellow Asians. Japan had improved itself and resisted colonisation by the West. Vietnamese students established a branch of the Restoration Society in Tokyo, but after 1908, the Japanese Ministry of Interior suppressed them. In 1911, a republic was set up in China under the leadership of Sun Yat-sen. Inspired by these developments, Vietnamese students organised the Association for the Restoration of Vietnam (Viet-Nam Quan Phuc Hoi). Soon, a new anti-imperialist movement started in Vietnam.

The Communist Movement and Vietnamese Nationalism: Inspired by the European Communist Parties, in February 1930, Ho Chi Minh established Vietnamese Communist Party (Vietnam Cong San Dang), later renamed the Indo-Chinese Communist Party. In 1940, Japan occupied Vietnam, as part of its imperial drive to control South-East Asia. So, nationalists had to fight against the Japanese as well as the French. The League for the Independence of Vietnam (Viet Nam Doc Lap Dong Minh) known as Vietminh, fought the Japanese occupation and recaptured Hanoi in September 1945. Japan also surrendered in 1945. The Democratic Republic of Vietnam was formed and Ho Chi Minh became Chairman.
