At the 1954 Korea and Indo-China peace conference in Geneva, the Western powers, the USSR, China and other nations agreed that Vietnam should be partitioned at the 17th parallel into what became a Western-oriented South Vietnam and a Soviet-bloc-oriented North Vietnam. Both parts were supposed to be reunited after countrywide elections scheduled for 1956. These elections never took place.

Who decided to divide Vietnam?
That was quite complicated. After French troops were defeated in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 7, 1954, the Geneva Conference (which had been held before) came to an agreement known as the Geneva Accords. In this this set of treaties, France and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam both agreed to withdraw their troops to different parts of the country (Vietnamese forces to the North, and French troops to the South). After that, French army would retreat completely from Vietnam and two regions would unify in an election. However, U.S. government later refused to follow that schedule because they had never signed the Accords. They set up a pro-America government with Ngo Dinh Diem as president in South Vietnam while communists still controlled the North. To conclude, it was France, America and, ironically, Vietnam (didn't know what it was doing) who divided Vietnam.
