The Indochinese Communist Party (ICP) was a communist party in the region of Indochina created by Hồ Chí Minh. The party was originally created as a unification of the three major Vietnamese communist parties under the banner of the Communist Party of Vietnam. However, its objectives would soon expand to to encompass the liberation struggles of Vietnam, Laos, and Kampuchea against their shared French colonizer, evolving into the Indochinese Communist Party.
History[edit | edit source]
Founding[edit | edit source]
In 1929, the Communist Party of Indochina, the Communist Party of Annam and the Communist League of Indochina, were persuaded by the Comintern to meet to unify and end factionalism within the communist movement in Vietnam. On February 3, 1930, in Hong Kong, Hồ Chí Minh presided over a meeting of the parties and subsequently the Communist Party of Vietnam was declared. At the Comintern's request its name would later be changed to the Indochinese Communist Party in order to encompass the Lao and Kampuchean communists as well.[1]
Dissolution[edit | edit source]
Between February 11-19, 1951 at the Second Congress of the ICP, it was decided that each country of Indochina should form an independent party.[2] Following the 1951 congress, the Workers' Party of Vietnam was declared and the Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Party was declared soon after on June 28.[3] Four years later on March 22, 1955 the Lao members formed the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP).[2]
