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.
At the Geneva Conventions in 1954 Vietnam was divided into two, communist north and democratic south; at the17th parallel.

Geneva Accords.
The Geneva Conference in 1954 was a diplomatic meeting aimed at resolving issues resulting from the Korean War and the First Indochina War. 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. Ultimately, the conference highlighted the growing divisions of the Cold War and set the stage for future conflicts in Southeast Asia.
