Ho Chi Minh wanted to add South Vietnam to North Vietnam. Over a number of years he built a series of roads and underground caves in preparation for his army to fight to conquer South Vietnam. Then the United States sent an army to prevent him from conquering South Vietnam. Eventually, the Americans decided they could not win and had no desire to continue to have solders killed so they left South Vietnam.
Ho Chi Minh never hated America. Instead he wanted South Vietnam and America was in the way.
I believe it was Ho Chi Minh.
Ho Chi Minh was the leader of the communist revolution against French colonialism in Vietnam. He was also the first President of North Vietnam.
The OSS was in contact with Ho Chi Minh and worked closely with him against the Japanese.
President Ho Chi Minh & General Giap was the primary general against the allied forces.Notably , Ho Chi Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap .
If you mean the city of Ho Chi Minh, it's in Vietnam. If you mean the ruler Ho Chi Minh, he was born in Vietnam and he died in Vietnam.
For the younger generation back then, Ho Chi Minh had been a founder of the communist party in North Vietnam & a "Hero" & victor against the French.

Ho Chi Minh was really a dictator, not a elected President. He had ruled North Vietnam since 1955, after the defeat of the French at Dien Ben Phu. He was the hero of the Vietnamese people, having been a guerrilla leader against the Japanese in WWII and then again against the French. The Americans had even supported him during WWII! He ultimately defeated the United States and South Vietnam because he and his leadership and the fighters who fought and died for him, believed in total victory, no longer how long it took. We totally underestimated the depth of support the people had for Ho Chi Minh.
Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh
Vietnam Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam
That was Ho Chi Minh. He wrote a proclamation of independence from France, for the nation of Vietnam, in 1945.
