On June 5, 1911, Nguyễn Tất Thành, born in the central province of Nghệ An in then French Indochina, using the name of Văn Ba, boarded vessel Latouche-Tréville in Việt Nam and headed overseas in the hope of finding ways to liberate the country from colonial rule.

During his 30-year journey, Nguyễn Tất Thành, who later became President Hồ Chí Minh, found a path to national liberation, turning Việt Nam into an independent, free, and unified country moving towards socialism. — VNS
