How did post-world war two independence movements in Vietnam differ from those in India

Vietnam was the colony of the French Empire from 1862 until 1949. During the Second World War, Vietnam was occupied by Japan. After the capitulation of Japan, Viet Minh national independence coalition seized Hanoy in August 1945 and established a provisional or better-known internal government. Viet Minh was considered by the Communist Party of Vietnam as a kind of national independent front.

According to the 1954 Geneva Agreement, Vietnam is divided into two parts - North and South.

In 1955, a referendum was held in the southern part, which is known as perhaps the biggest fraud ever. Ngô Đình Diệm the coalition leader, along with the former emperor, won 98.2% of the vote. Voters were forced to wear voter papers in different colors: for and against the coalition.

Anyone who had color paper against the coalition would have been beaten, tortured.

After the referendum, the southern part became the Republic of Vietnam and the northern Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

India has long been a British colony. After the Indians assistance to the British in the First World War, reforms were carried out in 1919, which gave India the right to self-legislation. This made the first move towards autonomy. This led to the strengthening of the two parties within the Assembly, which continued with the division: the Indian National Congress, led by Jawaharlal Nehru and the Muslim League under Muhammad Ali Jinnah. After many divergences, incidents and killings, there is a separation on India and Pakistan according to the Mountbatten Plan.

It can be concluded that Vietnam is much more violent and rebellious, India is more diplomatic, although there were equally killing.
