Ho Chi Minh sought U.S. support in his fight against the French colonial rule in Vietnam because he believed that the United States stood for anti-imperialism and self-determination. He hoped that the U.S. would align with the Vietnamese struggle for independence and help Vietnam break free from French colonial oppression. Additionally, Ho Chi Minh saw the U.S. as a potential ally to counterbalance French influence in the region. By gaining American support, Ho Chi Minh aimed to strengthen the Vietnamese independence movement and achieve his goal of liberating Vietnam from colonial rule.
