How the Vietnam War started?
Ho Chi Minh Declares Independence in Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh declares independence, the British try to give the power to the french. This relates to the leadership of the Vietnam War because Ho Chi MInh was trying to be independent like everyone else was and when the french surrendered but also seized southern Vietnam and had open talks so they can figure everything out. In 1946 the talks collapsed in which there was thousands of killings.

Battle of Dien Bien Phu
The battle of Diem Bien Phu was from March 13,1954 and it lasted until may 7.1954. The french were defeated and got driven out of Vietnam. Viet MInh forces the Chinese to attack Lai Chau to get rid of them and finish the attack. This relates to leadership with the rebels because these two leaders are fighting and attacking each other for them to keep living.
