	Viet Minh - MSN Encarta
		The Viet Minh was organized in 1941 by Ho Chi Minh, Pham Van Dong, Vo Nguyen Giap, Truong Chinh, and others, after Japan invaded Vietnam and subordinated the French in 1940 during World War II (1939-1945).
		Outgunned, the Viet Minh were forced to accept an agreement that permitted French troops to disembark, with the condition that Vietnam would become an autonomous state in the French Union (to be modeled on the British Commonwealth), and that French troops would leave in 1952.
		Viet Minh armed forces had numbered only 2000 when independence was declared, but once they issued the order for national resistance in December 1946 their numbers jumped to 60,000.
