The correct response would be: **Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence.**

The sequence of events leading to Vietnam's independence generally follows this order:

1. The French began colonial rule of Vietnam.
2. Japan occupied Vietnam during World War II.
3. Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence.
4. Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel.
5. The U.S. fought the Vietnam War.

Therefore, after "Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel," it would be correct to place "Ho Chi Minh declared Vietnamese independence" as it occurred earlier in the historical context.
