The Geneva Accords, signed in 1954, aimed to resolve the conflict in Vietnam by temporarily dividing the country at the 17th parallel, establishing North Vietnam under communist control and South Vietnam as a non-communist state.

This division set the stage for escalating conflict, leading to the Vietnam War, as the U.S. increased its support for South Vietnam to counter the spread of communism.
