In such a situation, with the aim of stopping the growing influence of communism.

America decided to descend directly into Indo-China in support of France.

Since Russia was already supporting communist Ho-Chi-Minh, these was a possibility of third world war under these circumstances, the Geneva Agreement was signed in may, 1954 as a result of which Vietnam was divided into two parts.

North Vietnam was given to the communists and south Vietnam was given to the French-American government.
