The correct answer is B. Truman provided financial aid to help France defeat the Viet Minh because it was led by a communist sympathizer.

Explanation:

Viet Minh was an organization that fought for Vietnamese independence from France (as well as against Japan during World War II). Vietminh was founded in 1941 in South China by HoNgoc Lam and Nguyen Hai Than. Later, the League was led by HoChi Minh.

At first, Viet Minh was a more nationalist than communist organization. During World War II, they fought against the Japanese who occupied Indochina. Later, they led the First Indochina War against the French, but also against their own large landlords.

Following the 1954 Geneva peace and division agreement, Vietminh was dissolved. In South Vietnam, some of the former fighters returned to their lives, while others, on behalf of the Vietnam Communist Party, tried to agitate peacefully for participation in the referendum on Vietnam's unification, which, however, proved difficult due to the Diem regime's terror. Many former Viet Minh members formed the backbone of the later Viet Cong.
