What did Ho Chi Minh believe in?

Answer 1

His two main goals were to unify North and South Vietnam to bring it back to one nation the way it was before it was divided by the colonial powers, and then to make all of Vietnam communist. To prevent French colonialism

Answer 2

First of all Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese nationalist that wanted independence from French colonial rule. When the French refused to grant Vietnam independence, Ho Chi Minh tried to approach the U.S. for peaceful support in obtaining independence. However this was the Mccarthy era and Ho Chi Minh had worked with communists during WW2 to help fight against Japan, so the U.S. refused to even recognize his approaches. Finally for lack of any other support in getting independence from France Ho Chi Minh returned to his WW2 communist contacts and the Vietnam War began. After the French were defeated and left Vietnam, the U.S. decided to continue the Vietnam War as they saw it as fighting the advance of communism.

Answer 3

Having lived his whole life under the control of a European power(s), Ho was determined to oust and, once that was achieved, never again allow any foreign power to gain a foot hold in Vietnam, this would also include the USSR & Red China later (at the time in 1946 there was no N & S vietnam).

Once France had been expelled in 1954, Ho was not pleased that two countries would be created instead of just one "Vietnam." He believed that this again was the work of foreigners and that it would allow foreign influence to remain on Southeast Asian soil (another words foreigners would not be gone after all! They'd still be in Indochina, but this time would be using South Vietnam as a proxy), in this case southern Vietnam...to be named the "Republic of South Vietnam" to be exact.

Ho Chi Minh & the Viet Minh had battled France to be rid of not only them, but any foreigner. Until the nation (N & S) was united, under his "communist rule", he believed foreign influence would always be on the wings...just waiting for another moment to spread across his land again (this time even into the newly established North Vietnam).

Consequently, the solution was simple: Reunification. And if it took another war to do it, then so be it.
