Which statement(s) below are true?

At Dien Bien Phu in 1954, Ho Chi Minh’s Viet Minh forces defeated the French, so A is true. The United States feared a “domino effect”: that neighboring countries might also become communist if Vietnam did, making C true. B is misleading because the fighting after World War II began as France tried to reassert colonial control, rather than simply because Vietnam had become independent. France did not support the United States in its later war against North Vietnam, so D is false.
