The Geneva agreement was held the day after Dien Bien Phu fell. President Eisenhower wanted the French to keep fighting, however the French had had enough. Ho Chi Minh, the communist leader of North Vietnam, was extremely popular throughout the whole of Vietnam. this is why the Vietminh wanted early elections so the people of Vietnam could elect Ho Chi Minh. The Western powers were worried about Ho Chi Minh's poularity, and therefore wanted a long delay. They agreed on deviding Vietnam along the 17th parallel and decide an election should take place two years later.
This election never came.
