In the 1940's and 1950's French Indo-China (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) was experiencing an armed conflict between western colonial powers (French colonists and sympathetic Vietnamese) and a communist, nationalist, anti-Japanese and anti-western influence faction led by Ho Chi Minh. The French forces demanded support from the U.S. under President Dwight Eisenhower. At the 1954 Geneva Conference the United States played a large role in the partitioning of North and South Vietnam (North being Communist, South being Capitalist). President Eisenhower was a proponent of the "domino theory" and trying to use western influence and power to stop Communism. The roots of U.S. involvement in Vietnam begin here in the 1950's, when the French were struggling to maintain a colonial influence in Indo-China.
