Answer 1

Ho Chi Minh might have believed that the U.S. would support his declaration of independence for Vietnam primarily because he had U.S. support during his fight with Japan. During World War II, Ho Chi Minh and his Viet Minh group received assistance from the United States to help combat Japanese occupation in Vietnam. This prior support may have led him to presume that the U.S. would continue to back his efforts for independence after the war.
