Why Did The Vietnam War Break Out?

The main reason behind the breakout of the Vietnamese war was the authoritative and autocratic colonial rule of the French.  The name Vietnam was given by the Westerners to the eastern part of Indochina stretching from the borders of China in the north to the delta of the Mekong River in the south.  Later on, the Vietnamese formed their own Indochina Communist Party founded by Ho Chi Minh, which arose in the year 1930.  In 1941 during the Second World War, Japan and France tried to quash the rebellion parties but Ho Chi Minh established the Vietnam League for Independence in the same year, more commonly known as the Viet Minh.  After Japan's surrender, Viet Minh seized control of Hanoi, in the North, and consolidated the declaration for Vietnam's independence.  Even though the French tried again to establish their rule in Vietnam with the help of the United States, they failed to do so and lost the Franco-Vietnamese War.
