The only surrender occurred in April '75 when the south capitulated to the NVA, who actually had their tanks parked on the south's capital grounds at the time. For the US, it "may" have been a "disguised" disengagement from the war in that the US stated, "...Okay, our B-52's have brought the North back to the peace talks, now we've won, now they'll see things our way...or else we'll send those B-52's back to 'em!" Where as, in reality, (this is the "may be disquised" part) the North KNEW the US was dis-engaging from the war, and consequently KNEW it was a waste of Northern manpower/equipment to resist the B-52's with an attitude...when the US was leaving anyway. Therefore, the North said, "...Okay, you win, we'll talk (since you're leaving anyway...why take another pounding from the bombers)." Nixon's policy at the end of the war; was leaving Vietnam with honor (by bombing them back into the stone age-a quote from USAF GEN Curtis LeMay in 1965); it was termed, "Peace with Honor." Historians could look at that as a disguised departure.

When was Vietnam divded into North and South Vietnam?

Twice. First in 1945, when an agreement was drawn up as to how the Japanese should surrender. Vietnam was divided (like Korea) along the 16th Parallel. Japanese troops to the North would surrender to China, and troops to the South would surrender to the United Kingdom. Both countries would send in troops to occupy Vietnam. The British handed the south to the French, and the Chinese made a deal with the French and handed them the north. However, the real division was in 1954 as a result of the Geneva Conference, which was held to discuss how to resolve the war between the French and the communist Viet Minh (led by Ho Chi Minh, who wanted independence). The Viet Minh agreed to withdraw all their forces from south of the 17th Parallel. The French agreed to withrdraw all their forces from north of the line. The Geneva Accords said that elections should be held in 1956 for the unification of Vietnam, but the elections ended up being rigged. Vietnam was split into two separate countries as a result.
