Background
The old Vietnamese Communist Party (Việt Nam Cộng sản Đảng) was founded on 3 February 1930 by uniting the Communist Party of Indochina (despite its name, this party was active only in Tonkin) and Communist Party of Annam (active only in Cochinchina). Thereafter, the Communist League of Indochina (active only in central Annam) joined the Vietnamese Communist Party.
The Comintern, however, argued that the communist movement should be promoted in the whole French Indochina (including Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam) but not only Vietnam. It, therefore urged the Vietnamese Communist Party transform to be the Indochinese Communist Party.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background.
