Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth League

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. It is considered as the “first truly Marxist organization in Indochina” and “the beginning of Vietnamese Communism”. 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. At the time, Vietnam was part of colonial French Indochina.
