Answer:
HoChi Minh's formation of the Viet Minh to fight for independence was the factor that most contributed to his campaign in the conflict with France following WWII.
Explanation:
Viet Minh was an organization that fought for Vietnam’s independence from France, and during World War II from Japan as well. Viet Minh was founded by HoNgoc Lam and Nguyen Hai Than in 1941 in South China. Later, HoChi Minh became the leader of the organization.
The Viet Minh was more of a nationalist than a communist organization. During World War II, they fought against Japan occupying Indochina. They later led the Vietnamese in the Indochina War against the French, but also against large landowners. The Viet Minh was part of the Vietnamese League for the liberation of Vietnam from colonialism and the Communist Party tried to restrict the peasants from taking over the land of the landlords. Yet, in order to mobilize as many soldiers as possible in the final fight against the French, the Viet Minh leadership in 1953 promised the peasants that after the liberation of the country the land would be distributed to the peasants. As a result, a large number of peasants fought on the side of the Viet Minh in the decisive battle of Dien Bien Phu. After the peace and division agreement in Geneva in 1954, the Viet Minh disbanded.
