"However, the major allied victors of World War II, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union, all agreed the area belonged to the French."
"On 6 March 1946, Ho signed an agreement allowing French forces to replace Nationalist Chinese forces, in exchange for French recognition of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as a "free" republic within the French Union, with the specifics of such recognition to be determined by future negotiation. The French landed in Hanoi by March 1946 and in November of that year they ousted the Viet Minh from the city. British forces departed on 26 March 1946, leaving Vietnam in the hands of the French."
Vietnam belongs to the vietnamese people. There would be no "South" if vietnam was allowed to rule itself.
To stop communism, misguided US leaders decided killing several million innocent people was justified. These leaders should be held responsible for the death of US soldiers in vietnam. It is tragic that these US leaders were not charged with war crimes like the Nazis.
