The French in Indochina, 1953

At close of World War II in 1945, France tried to reassert its authority over its former colony, Vietnam. The Vietnamese fought back, finally emerging victorious in 1954 after their victory over the French at Dien bien Phu. Later that year, an international conference held in Geneva divided Vietnam into two regions separated by a demilitarized zone. (The partition, which was to be temporary, remained in place for over 20 years.) The United States sponsored the establishment of a new nation, South Vietnam, and began a program of nation-building. This process inevitably drew the United States into a civil war fought by the north and south.
