Final answer:

The United States attempted to influence Vietnam after it gained independence from France by initially supporting the Vietminh, providing military aid to France, and sending advisors to support the South Vietnamese government.

Step-by-step explanation:

After Vietnam gained independence from France, the United States attempted to influence Vietnam in several ways:

  • The United States initially supported the Vietminh, the Vietnamese nationalist group led by H`o Chi Minh, during World War II when they were also fighting against the Japanese.
  • However, after the Japanese surrendered, the United States refused to support H`o Chi Minh and instead provided military aid to France, which was trying to regain control of Vietnam.
  • In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the United States sent CIA and military advisors to support the South Vietnamese government.

Overall, the United States tried to prevent the spread of communism in Vietnam by supporting anti-communist forces in the region.
