The U.S. refused to support elections in Vietnam due to concerns that a democratic process would likely lead to a victory for the communist-led Viet Minh, particularly under Ho Chi Minh. The Geneva Accords of 1954 called for elections to unify the country, but the U.S. viewed this as a threat to its Cold War strategy of containing communism. Instead, the U.S. supported the anti-communist government in South Vietnam, led by President Ngo Dinh Diem, and focused on stabilizing that regime rather than facilitating elections. This decision ultimately contributed to the escalation of the Vietnam War.
