Ho Chi Minh might have believed that the U.S. would have supported his declaration of independence for Vietnam because he had U.S. support during his fight with Japan. During World War II, he and his forces, the Viet Minh, received assistance from the United States in their struggle against Japanese occupation. This history of cooperation may have led him to think that the U.S. would be sympathetic to Vietnam's pursuit of independence following the war.
