Nguyễn Thái Học

Nguyễn Thái Học, founder and leader of the VNQDD.

Nguyễn Thái Học (Hán tự: 阮太學; 1902 – 1930) was a Vietnamese revolutionary who was the founding leader of the Việt Nam Quốc Dân Đảng, the Vietnamese Nationalist Party.[1][2][3] He was captured and executed by the French colonial authorities after the failure of the Yên Bái mutiny.

Many cities in Vietnam, have named major streets after him. This was the case in both North and South even when the country was divided before the fall of Saigon in April 1975.[4] One of the most notable is Nguyễn Thái Học Street, Hanoi.
