When Vietnam gained its independence from France, Vietnam was divided in two due to the 1954 Geneva Accords: North Vietnam (Democratic Republic of Vietnam) which was led by the Vietnamese Communist Party, and South Vietnam (Republic of Vietnam) which was still under the authority of former emperor Bao Dai. After the Vietnam War in 1975, the Communist Party of Vietnam merged North and South Vietnam into Vietnam. South Vietnam existed from 1955 to 1975. Its capital was Saigon (currently Ho Chi Minh City).&nb
