120. The Vietnam conflict began with Truman's betrayal of Ho Chi Minh

Ho led the resistance against Japan's occupation of Indochina. The OSS, which gave birth to CIA, worked closely with Ho in his fight against the Japanese. Ho was promised that once Japan was defeated, the United States would support Vietnamese independence. At war's end, the United States supported British and French efforts to reclaim their former colonies in Africa and Asia.
