Do China, North Korea, and Indochina still become Communist if WWII doesn't happen?

If World War II doesn't happen (for instance, due to Adolf Hitler getting killed back in 1923), do China, North Korea, and Indochina still eventually become Communist?

Any thoughts on this?

Without a Soviet occupation of North Korea, North Korea doesn't become Communist, correct? Or did Korea have a large indigenous Communist movement even before World War II?

Also, how much did World War II strengthen Communists in China and French Indochina?

not much bigger china or other nations but again they were the biggest anti japanese group so give a lot of credit again korean first issue without WWII is to be free the brutal japanese.

China was a free for all even without soviets massive aid and japanese surplus that can end anywhere.

Indochina depends what happened to france and a own indepencene war
 
If japan still invades china and gets stuck in a long war , You would likely still have a communist china .
 
Yes; after all, why exactly wouldn't it take place in this TL?
Because your original POD, again japan issue might not care for european and japan goes all banzai in east asia and ended in the self destruction path on her own, so yeah it can happen

Japan needed China's resources, no?

Because some people consider it part of the Second World War.
I meant the European war as well as the Japanese-American war when I wrote that; indeed, does that make sense?

Basically, since the Second Sino-Japanese War began before 1939, it's excluded from this.

If so, then there is at least some potential for a Communist seizure of power in Korea in this TL. However, I'd like to hear from someone who is more of an expert on Korea than I myself am.

OK.

Weren't the Viet Minh (or its predecessor(s)) already the largest opposition force in Indochina even before 1939, though?
