"Jika [Ho Chi Minh] memiliki carte blanche atas pergerakannya, apakah hasil perang akan berbeda? Itu sulit dikatakan. Dalam beberapa kasus - seperti pada 1945 dan 1946, ia tampaknya melebih-lebihkan kemungkinan bahwa Amerika Serikat mungkin memutuskan untuk mengakui pemerintahannya dan kemerdekaan DRV (meskipun harus adil, sejak awal ia telah memperingatkan bahwa Washington mungkin akhirnya memutuskan untuk sejajar dengan Perancis karena Perang Dingin)."

--- William J. Duiker

Versi Bahasa Inggris

If [Ho Chi Minh] had had carte blanche over his movement, would the results of the war have been different? That is difficult to say. In some cases - as in 1945 and 1946, he appeared to overestimate the possibility that the United States might decide to recognize his government and the independence of the DRV (although to be fair, from the outset he had warned that Washington might eventually decide to align with the French because of the Cold War).
