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.

How did Vietnam become independent?

The The 1st Indochina War also known as the French Indochina War was a fight for independence. The 2nd Indochina War also known as the American Indochina War or American Vietnam War was a fight against communist aggression. The Vietnamese wanted independence mainly because of it's war-torn history. it had also had a very long history of being occupied and ruled by foreign oppressors. a combination of both these led to a very strong nationalistic feeling amongst the Vietnamese people which made people like Ho Chi Minh strive for Vietnamese independence. Ho chi Minh was first a nationalist and seconded a communist. The ICP (Indochina communist party) formed in 1930 by Ho Chi Minh was not very successful. However the Viet Minh, formed in 1941, was a lot more popular. this is because the people of Vietnam were nationalists - they wanted independence, not communism.
