From an early age, Ho strongly believed that his country should be liberated. This was most likely as a result of his father's nationalist preaching and behaviour. It was impressed upon him that he should reject French rule, and later Ho evidently did this by defying not only the French but also Japan, China and the United States. In doing this he was advancing Vietnam's independence. In short, Ho would oppose any nation to achieve his goal.

Many historians such as David Kaiser (1998) proposed that Ho turned to communism subsequent to America's refusal to help him end French domination in Vietnam. After all, all of the other Nationalist parties in Vietnam prior to 1920 did not achieve their goal of overthrowing the French. Moreover, the Vietnamese Nationalist Party was suppressed in 1930,

In conclusion it is apparent that Ho was very much a nationalist and very much a communist as well. It is clear also that the Nationalist instincts would have emerged first in the young Ho and communism became the means to an end. In the final analysis it would be difficult to separate the two.
