What is the significance of Ho Chi Mihn's references to Tehran and San Francisco?Declaration of Independence for the Democratic Republic of...

In the end, much of what Ho Chi Minh attempts to do in the
declaration is to ensure that the wave of freedom that began to surge in colonies and
throughout the world with the fall of the Axis powers spilled over into Vietnam, as
well.  His fundamental argument is that if the West coalesced into defeat of the forces
that sought to limit human freedom, then the same can be made for European powers that
controlled colonies in other parts of the world.  Citing specific locations where the
world was made safe for freedom is a part of this larger design, just as sourcing French
and American historical documents that speak and articulate the need for freedom in a
country's citizens.  In using the Western documents of freedom against them, Ho Chi Minh
is essentially forcing a type of standoff.  Either the Western powers are going to live
and abide by their words and historical traditions of freedom or they have to concede
that these nations are motivated by something else other than personal and human freedom
(Economics, world control, power.)  In bringing this issue to the forefront with the
Western powers, Ho Chi Minh is forcing the issue of independence, proving that for
Western nations, obtaining and securing freedom can be seen as two different elements.
 From a domestic standpoint, he is also seeking to broaden support for his agenda of
 Vietnamese freedom.  In the same way of the French and the Colonial Americans, Ho Chi
Minh is seeking to make the political concept of freedom as something more of a human
rights issue that can be easily accepted by his own citizens as well as challenging the
power of the West.
