	TIME 100: Ho Chi Minh
		Ho Chi Minh, founder and president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, Communist North, is shown on Aug. 11, 1965
		An emaciated, goateed figure in a threadbare bush jacket and frayed rubber sandals, Ho Chi Minh cultivated the image of a humble, benign "Uncle Ho." But he was a seasoned revolutionary and passionate nationalist obsessed by a single goal: independence for his country.
		For Americans, it was the longest war — and the first defeat — in their history, and it drastically changed the way they perceived their role in the world.
