Answer 7

By doing some research I also believe it's the soviet union. Why? Looking at this website: http://www.coldwar.org/articles/50s/HoChiMinh.asp

It said he found refuge in the soviet union. Which means he felt safe and sheltered from danger. I searched all other countries and they seem like they didn't support him except the Soviet union. I hope I helped. Also, I think if you go over the lesson that goes with this question I'm pretty sure, you'll find the answer, and be more positive about it. (:

Answer 8

Ho Chi Minh was the leader of North Vietnam, which was Communist. Both China and the Soviet Union, Communist countries, provided North Vietnam with plenty of support because they were all more or less opposed to the United States, which was of course trying to topple the regime of North Vietnam in favor of democracy.

France had been fighting North Vietnam (of which Ho Chi Minh was in charge!) previously. South Korea was in no position to provide any aid to anyone and was a close US ally, so clearly WOULD NOT be providing any aid to an enemy of the US.

Ironically, before the Vietnam War, when the Japanese invaded Vietnam during World War II, the United States supported Ho Chi Minh's resistance against the Japanese. Supposedly an American medic even saved his life at once point.

Answer 15

Well I gtg but I would go with the soviet union. Not 100% positive though

Answer 16

Layman's terms then:

The United States was fighting North Vietnam in the Vietnam War.
Ho Chi Minh was the leader of North Vietnam. North Vietnam was Communist.
The United States was (and is) Democratic and was opposed to Communism.
The Soviet Union was Communist. They were opposed to the United States, and vice versa.
Thus the Soviet Union supported North Vietnam in the Vietnam War because they could hurt the United States by doing so.
The United States did not support Ho Chi Minh in the Vietnam war because they were fighting him and his regime.

You don't support your enemies in a war.
