Another Ho Chi Minh question. I have used this one on exams before and it confounded the students time and again.
Despite being a confirmed Marxist Revolutionary, Ho Chi Mihn had an affection for the United States and approached the US more than once for support in establishing a free Vietnam. What finally drove Ho to abandon this American affection and become a permanent Marxist ideologue?
Was it our support of the French in Indo-China?
You haven't answered the who did he work for and what did he do question.
I have read several different things on Ho's work in France. I have seen both Chevrolet and Michelin.
I have also read that he even worked for the Roosevelt family as a cook during a stint in the United States.
He worked in the kitchens as a dishwasher for Auguste Escoffier. Yeah, that guy.
Ho wrote about working for Escoffier in his autobiography/memoirs.
Considering what the conditions were like then for laborers in the haute cuisine kitchens of the French, some things make a little more sense.
