In the 1940s, the Viet Minh took control of the Vietnamese government from which leader?

  1. the French

  2. Emperor Bao Dai

  3. Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem

  4. Khai Dinh

The correct answer is: Emperor Bao Dai

The Viet Minh took control of the Vietnamese government from Emperor Bao Dai in the 1940s following the end of Japanese occupation during World War II. In August 1945, during the August Revolution, the Viet Minh, led by Ho Chi Minh, capitalized on the power vacuum created by the surrender of Japan. They declared Vietnam's independence from colonial rule. Bao Dai, who had been a figurehead leader under the French colonial system, was ousted as the Viet Minh sought to establish a republic and sought to end Vietnamese monarchy and imperial remnants. Thus, the correct answer reflects the historical events in Vietnam during this pivotal time.
