What was the primary reason the US did not support the Vietnamese in their struggle for independence from France during the 40 and and 50 and?

The primary reason the U.S. did not support the Vietnamese in their struggle for independence from France in the 1940s and 1950s was the Cold War context, where the U.S. aimed to contain the spread of communism. The U.S. viewed the nationalist movement led by figures like Ho Chi Minh as potentially aligning with communist ideologies, which they opposed. Consequently, the U.S. supported the French colonial efforts, fearing that a communist victory in Vietnam could lead to a domino effect in Southeast Asia.

Why did the Vietnamese guerrillas fight the French in Indochina?

France was the only country after WW2 that refused to grant independence to its Asian colonies. Ho Chi Minh had tried to ask the U.S. to help negotiate with the French, but the U.S. refused because he had had communist contacts during WW2. That left no option but a war of independence against France, which as the only military support he could get was from his previous communist contacts Vietnam eventually became a communist nation.


Why might ho chi minh have borrowed phrases from the us declaration of independence and the french rights of man and the citizen?

Ho Chi Minh borrowed phrases from the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen to emphasize universal principles of freedom and human rights, which resonated with his goals for Vietnamese independence. By invoking these influential texts, he sought to legitimize Vietnam's struggle against colonial rule and align it with globally recognized ideals of liberty and democracy. This strategic borrowing also aimed to rally support both domestically and internationally, framing Vietnam's fight as part of a broader quest for self-determination.

Using civil disobedience would make the British send in soldiers and that would often lead to violence giving the independence supporters a reason to fight the British.
