Answer:

France

Step-by-step explanation:

Just consider the U.S. response to Minh's declaration of Vietnam's independence on September 2, 1945. Vietnam had been a French colony before World War II started. After France fell to Germany in 1940, Japan seized control of Vietnam, but allowed French officials and troops to administer the country.
