Ho Chi Minh City (=Saigon)

The Vietnam war ended in 1975, Vietnam was reunified and Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh was a Communist Leader who led the country's struggle for independence in the 1940s and was a major figure in the war between North and South Vietnam in the 1960s. He died in 1969. Personally, i think that Ho Chi Minh City will be named Saigon again one day when the communism is gone.
