The Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth League (Vietnamese: Việt Nam Thanh Niên Cách Mệnh Đồng Chí Hội; chữ Hán: 越南青年革命同志會), or Thanh Niên for short, was founded by Nguyen Ai Quoc (best known as Ho Chi Minh) in Guangzhou in the spring of 1925.[1] It is considered as the “first truly Marxist organization in Indochina”[2] and “the beginning of Vietnamese Communism”.[3][4] With the support of the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang left, from 1925 to 1927, the League managed to educate and train a considerable number of Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries, preparing the prominent leadership for the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese Revolution.[5] At the time, Vietnam was part of colonial French Indochina.
