The United States supported the Diem government in South Vietnam after the Geneva Conference due to concerns about the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, particularly following the rise of communist influence in neighboring countries. The U.S. viewed Diem as a staunch anti-communist ally who could help stabilize the region and prevent a domino effect of communist takeovers. Additionally, the U.S. believed that supporting Diem would strengthen the South Vietnamese government against the communist-led Viet Cong insurgency. This support was part of a broader strategy of containment during the Cold War.

After France's defeat, Vietnam was divided at 17 degrees north latitude. It was created at an international peace conference in Geneva.
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.
The Republic of Vietnam - RVN - (also known as South Vietnam), was formed by the Geneva Conference in 1954, and was dissolved and merged into the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1975.

The Geneva conference was when a group of representatives from the us government game together to decide if the water in lake Geneva was either blue or greenish. Yes this is true and very stupid of the US. Aren't you glad we live here.
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.
