The U.S. prevented elections in South Vietnam, particularly the 1956 nationwide elections mandated by the Geneva Accords, due to concerns that the communist-led North Vietnam would win. The U.S. supported the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, led by President Ngo Dinh Diem, fearing that a fair election would undermine their geopolitical interests in Southeast Asia. U.S. officials believed that allowing elections would lead to the spread of communism, prompting their decision to intervene and promote an alternative political framework in the region.
