The Communist League of Indochina (Đông Dương Cộng sản Liên đoàn) was one of the three communist groups of 1929–1930 which formed the base of the Communist Party of Vietnam in Vietnam, and within colonial French Indochina. It was formerly the Tân Việt Cách mệnh Đảng (Revolutionary Party of the New Vietnam) as well as the "Restoration Society" between 1925 and 1930.[1][2]
The cadres who led the change were Hà Huy Tập, Trần Phú, and Trần Phạm Hồ .[3]
The League gained its name following a factional split of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1929.[4] The League came to prominence following the suppression of anti-colonial activities in the Annam protectorate by the French colonial authorities; these initiatives came from both conservative nationalist groups and communists who had a shared interest in resisting colonial rule by France.[5] Eventually, members of the Indochinese Communist League joined the Communist Party of Vietnam, following directives from the Soviet-controlled Comintern (Communist International) to create a unified Communist Party in French Indochina.[6] Prior to its absorption into the Communist Party of Vietnam, the league maintained its own political organizations, including worker's associations, students associations, and a women's organization.[6]
