The Geneva Conference of 1954 aimed to resolve conflicts in Indochina, resulting in the temporary division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel into communist North Vietnam and anti-communist South Vietnam. This division was intended to be temporary, but it solidified the ideological split and fueled tensions between the two regions. The failure to hold national elections, as initially agreed, led to increased hostility, with the North supporting the Viet Cong insurgency in the South. Ultimately, these circumstances contributed to the escalation of military involvement by the United States, marking the beginning of the Vietnam War.
The Geneva Conference, held in 1954, primarily aimed to resolve issues related to the Korean War and the First Indochina War. It resulted in the division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel into North Vietnam, led by the communists, and South Vietnam, backed by the West, with plans for elections to reunify the country scheduled for 1956. Additionally, the conference sought to establish a framework for peace in Indochina, leading to the withdrawal of French forces from Vietnam. However, the planned elections never occurred, contributing to ongoing conflict in the region.

The goal of the Geneva Conference, held in 1954 following the defeat of French forces in Indochina, was to negotiate a resolution to the conflict in Vietnam and to establish a framework for peace in the region. The conference aimed to temporarily divide Vietnam at the 17th parallel, leading to the establishment of North Vietnam under communist control and South Vietnam under a non-communist government. Additionally, it sought to set the stage for future elections to unify the country. The outcomes, however, contributed to increased tensions and conflict, ultimately leading to the Vietnam War.
To end the war.
The Geneva Conference of 1954 ultimately failed to achieve a lasting resolution for Vietnam due to deep-seated divisions among the participating nations, particularly between the communist bloc and Western powers. Disagreements over the future governance of Vietnam and the broader geopolitical tensions of the Cold War hindered consensus. Additionally, the lack of trust and commitment from both the North and South Vietnamese leaders to adhere to the conference's agreements further contributed to its ineffectiveness. As a result, the conference did not establish a stable peace, leading to continued conflict in the region.

It resulted in a series of agreements, including the temporary division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel, with the North led by the Communist government of Ho Chi Minh and the South under a non-Communist regime. The conference also sought to establish a framework for peace in Korea, though tensions remained high, leading to further conflict.
