The Việt Nam Độc lập Vận động Đồng minh Hội was formed by Hồ Học Lãm in Nanjing, China, between 1935 and 1936, as an anti-imperialist united front. It lapsed into inactivity and was taken over by Hồ Chí Minh and the ICP in 1941. The organization was more nationalist than communist, urging various political groups to overthrow Japanese fascists and the Pro-Japanese Government in Vietnam. When the Japanese occupation began, the Việt Minh opposed Japan with support from the United States and the Republic of China. After World War II, the Việt Minh opposed the occupation of Vietnam by the Japanese, resulting in a guerilla warfare campaign to liberate Vietnam from the Japanese, and later opposed the Empire of Vietnam, a Pro-Japanese Government supported by the Empire of Japan.
