The French were militarily defeated by the Vietnamese in the First Indochinese War, specifically in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, forcing the French to concede independence to Vietnam. Cambodia's King Norodom Sihanouk and Laos's King Sisavong Vong came to a peaceful agreements for French withdrawal in 1953 and the granting of independence (both agreements operated independently of one another).

Since France had no possessions in Indochina other than Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, France had lost its possessions in Indochina by 1955.
