In 1930, Le helped found the Indochinese Communist Party. French colonial forces imprisoned him from 1930 to 1936 and again from 1939 to 1944. After his release in 1945 he helped lead the Viet Minh, the Vietnamese independence movement against the French, until the Geneva Accords were signed in 1954. He then joined the Lao Dong Politburo of the Vietnam Workers' Party in 1955, now the Communist Party of Vietnam. Le oversaw the Communist insurgency that began in 1956 against the South Vietnam government.
