Who had to fight wars against the french and the americans to gain its independence

The answer is Vietnam.  After the Japanese were defeated in 1945, communist movement called the Viet Minh led by Ho Chi Minh began a campaign for independence From France.  In 1946, Vietnamese guerillas began to fight the French in the First Indochina War. They defeated the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and won their Independence in 1954.  This lead to the emergence of two Vietnams:  The communist North and the democratic South.  North began to invade the South which led to U.S. intervention. Despite modern artillery and air support, the U.S. was not able to defeat the North and later withdrew its forces from Vietnam and later the country was united under rule of the communist.  Today Vietnam has changed much of its policies and has now welcome foreign investments and capitalist entrepreneurs to do business in the country.
