C the invasion of North Vietnam by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces.the invasion of North Vietnam by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces.
D American involvement in Asian affairs, specifically the Korean Conflict.
C the invasion of North Vietnam by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces.
The correct answer is B: U.S. support of the South Vietnamese government.
To answer this question, we need to understand the historical context and events during the time of Ho Chi Minh's quote.
Ho Chi Minh was the leader of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, which took place from 1955 to 1975. The quote is referring to the "United States aggression" faced by the Vietnamese people, implying that the United States was involved in some form of military action against Vietnam.
Now let's look at the answer choices:
A. United States control of the Philippines: This answer is incorrect because it does not align with the context of the Vietnam War. The quote does not mention or refer to the Philippines.
B. U.S. support of the South Vietnamese government: This answer is correct. The quote suggests that the Vietnamese people rose up in response to U.S. aggression, which can be interpreted as the United States supporting the South Vietnamese government in the war against North Vietnam.
C. The invasion of North Vietnam by U.S. and South Vietnamese forces: This answer is incorrect as the quote does not explicitly mention an invasion of North Vietnam. It is focused on the response of the Vietnamese people to U.S. aggression.
D. American involvement in Asian affairs, specifically the Korean Conflict: This answer is incorrect because the Korean Conflict is a separate event from the Vietnam War and does not directly connect to Ho Chi Minh's quote.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. U.S. support of the South Vietnamese government.
