Insurgency movement formed in China in 1941 during WWII by Ho Chi Minh; it fought Japanese occupation and declared independence for Vietnam in 1945.

• A. League for the Independence of Vietnam/Viet Minh
• B. Viet Minh
• C. Viet Cong
• D. National Liberation Front

Answer: (A)

This is about the Viet Minh, the organization formed in 1941 in China by Ho Chi Minh to push for Vietnam’s independence and to resist foreign occupation. Its formal English name is the League for the Independence of Vietnam, but it is commonly called Viet Minh. They led guerrilla actions against the Japanese during World War II and, after Japan’s defeat in 1945, proclaimed Vietnam’s independence and established the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Hanoi.

The other options refer to groups that came later. The Viet Cong and the National Liberation Front emerged in the 1950s–60s in South Vietnam and are associated with the Vietnam War against the United States and the South Vietnamese government, not the WWII-era movement formed in China.
