Who made Ho the only nationalist representative for post WW II Viet Nam ?You aren't. Just don't blame Ho for turning to China and Russia when you rejected his plea for help in obtaining independence for Vietnam.
No...The Viet Nam War was partially caused by China's meddling. Even Mao believed that independence was inevitable for Indochina regardless of what France wanted. Stalin agreed to American proposal to put Indochina under UN trusteeship towards independence. That was an undisputable FACT. So if the US can reject Ho, so can China, and should have. It was Mao's and Stalin's desire to put as much of Asia under communism that prompted American paranoia.The entire Vietnam War was caused by US paranoia of Chinese and Russian influence that they themselves invited into Vietnam. Its a double mistake. First it was the invitation and second is the paranoia.
