| === Background and foundation ===
| |
| Ho Chi Minh founded the [[Intercolonial Union]] in 1921 and the [[Peasants' International Congress]] in 1923 to oppose [[French Third Republic|French]] [[colonialism]]. Created in 1924, the [[Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association]] was an illegal proletarian organization that agitated workers in mines, factories and plantations. They also worked with [[Peasantry|peasants]] and the [[petty bourgeoisie]]. In May 1929, they held a congress in [[Hong Kong]] and the Bắc Kỳ delegation from northern Vietnam proposed to dissolve the association and form a communist party. This proposal was not accepted, so the Bắc Kỳ delegation left and formed the [[Indochinese Communist Party]]. In October, the Nam Kỳ branch of the VRYA from the far south of Vietnam created the [[Annamese Communist Party]]. In February 1930, Ho Chi Minh convened a meeting of the the VRYA, ICP, and ACP in Hong Kong, where the three organizations were unified into the Communist Party of Vietnam.<ref>{{Citation|author=S.

| By March 1931, the party had 2,400 members. On 11 April 1931, the [[Communist International (1919–1943)|Third International]] recognized the Communist Party of Vietnam. In June, Ho Chi Minh was arrested by the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland|British]] in Hong Kong but escaped and arrived in the [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922–1991)|Soviet Union]] in 1933. Hundreds of revolutionaries were killed by French authorities between 1930 and 1933. The first national congress of the party was held in [[Macau Special Administrative Region|Macau]] in March 1935. In July 1935, [[Lê Hồng Phong]] was invited to the seventh congress of the Comintern.<ref>{{Citation|author=Foreign Languages Publishing House|year=1986|title=History of the Communist Party of Vietnam|page=38–48|pdf=https://www.bannedthought.net/Vietnam/CommunistParty/HistoryOfTheCommunistPartyOfVietnam-Hanoi-1986-OCR-sm.pdf|city=[[Hanoi]]}}</ref>
