<P> Ho Chi Minh was the key figure and held the main leadership of North Vietnam during both wars in the country . He remained as a great source of inspiration for the Vietnamese who were fighting for a united Vietnam as in his wish after he officially stepped aside in 1965 and even after his death in 1969 . The final offensive against Saigon -- the capital of South Vietnam in 1975 was named after him ( the Ho Chi Minh Campaign ) . Vietnam was reunified under the Communist rule after the fall of Saigon in April 1975 , nearly 30 years after Ho 's declaration of independence and 6 years after his death . Soon after that , Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh city in honour of his vast contributions to Vietnam . </P>
