Why did Ngo Dih Diem and Eisenhower refuse to allow national elections in Vietnam as called for in the Geneva accords?
Ho Chi Minh had a "handle" on that program, he wasn't worried about it. It was Diem of South Vietnam who refused the elections...saying the communists might win it (something to the effect that they were fixed).
What else can I help you with?
Who controlled south Vietnam Geneva accords?
The Geneva Accords, signed in 1954, aimed to resolve the conflict in Vietnam by temporarily dividing the country into North and South along the 17th parallel. South Vietnam was supported by the United States and was effectively controlled by the anti-communist government led by President Ngo Dinh Diem. The accords stipulated that elections would be held to reunify Vietnam, but these elections were never conducted, leading to further conflict.
Who broke the Geneva accords by not allowing free elections in south Vietnam?
Supposed free elections were held in South Vietnam for South Vietnamese candidates only. However, an election for the unification of Vietnam was refused by the then South Vietnamese government due to the fact that the Communist regime of the North would not allow an International Committee to supervise the ballot. Therefore, the North refused scrutiny of their so called free elections. It is interesting to note that there is a substantial amount of evidence that suggests that the South Vietnamese elections were rigged and the count doctored. Further to this, the North Vietnamese held an election in 1960 where constituents had only one party to choose from, the VFF. Hardly a free election. Unsurprisingly, they won all seats.

When US prevented an election in South Vietnam because?
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.

When did US stop elections in Vietnam war?
I am not sure exactly what this question refers to. The US did not stop any elections during the Vietnam war. Certainly not in the United States. If the question refers to elections in Vietnam, actually in 1956 (before the US involvement), Ngo Dinh Diem stopped the elections called for in the 1954 Geneva Accords. It was only under US pressure, that he finally agreed to hold the elections which were held in 1959

What sparked North Vietnam to assault South Vietnam during the Vietnam Conflict era?
There was probably no spark. It was Ho Chi Minh's plan to unite the two countries from the beginning. Infiltration from the north into the south began almost immediately in the 1950's. I think you could rightfully call the Geneva Accords the "spark". It was the Geneva Accords in 1954 that divided Vietnam into two separate countries with promises to hold general elections to unify it. However, when those elections were not held, the Viet Minh, rulers of the north, decided to unite the country by force.
