In 1945, France wanted to reclaim Vietnam as a French colony. ### Imperial France ![Imperial France](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-08/4134cd86-e476-467c-87f0-8c0e44c57f19/french-flag-.jpg) - France had controlled Vietnam before WW2, but during the war it had been taken over by Japan and in 1945 France wanted Vietnam back. - However, French rule was opposed by the nationalist group, the Viet Minh (set up by Ho Chi Minh) who wanted Vietnamese independence. - The Viet Minh were strongest in the Northern part of Vietnam. ### Fear of communism ![Fear of communism](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-04/2b6467a4-9bee-4a24-b9fd-760687c39e14/shutterstock_373811701.jpg) - In 1949 China became communist, and the USA was scared communism would spread into Vietnam as China sent military supplies to the Viet Minh. - In response, the USA sent the French military supplies and advisors. - They were paying about 80% of France’s military costs by 1954. ### French defeat ![French defeat](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-07/1c354d8b-c9ff-4586-b9e5-0ff42d18c34b/war-tanks.jpg) - In the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, the French were surrounded and defeated by the Viet Minh after 55 days of fighting and left Vietnam. - The USA didn’t help because they didn’t want to get involved in another large scale war after WW2 and had spent a lot of money on a recent war in Korea. ### Reasons the French lost ![Reasons the French lost](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/memory-location-images/Sapa,%20Vietnam-min.jpg) - The Viet Minh knew the area well and used it to their advantage to surprise the French. - China supported the Viet Minh with troops and supplies. - Local villagers helped the Viet Minh by moving supplies and spying on the French army. ### Reasons the French lost cont. ![Reasons the French lost cont.](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/courseImages/physics/1.1.1%20Measuring%20length,%20volume,%20etc.../clock-997589_640-min.jpg) - The Viet Minh were committed and worked round the clock to defeat the French. - The French underestimated the Viet Minh, and the French troops did not care about France having control of Vietnam. ## The Geneva Accords The Geneva Accords on 21st July 1954 were attended by nine countries. They agreed the following. ### The agreements: ![The agreements:](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-03/042f6872-0d7d-41e7-83f4-e42aae3ed63d/shutterstock_73792807.jpg) - Vietnam was temporarily split in two along the 17th parallel, with a demilitarised zone in the middle. - Elections would be held in 1956 to decide who would rule the whole of Vietnam, but no clear system was agreed. - No foreign military forces could set up military bases anywhere in Vietnam. ### The agreements cont.: ![The agreements cont.:](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/2018-11/46e9fcc3-a652-4996-9ddd-f148e5cbc1cd/300-number-.png) - Ho Chi Minh would control a small area of the North. - Bao Dai would run the South, but was soon replaced by Ngo Dinh Diem- a strong anti-communist. - Nobody could move into the other half of the country for 300 days. ### Responses to that Accords ![Responses to that Accords](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/memory-location-images/Beijing,%20China-min.jpg) - The USA and the South Vietnamese refused to agree to the demands. - The North was forced to accept the demands by their ally China, although they felt that they had been given a smaller area than the one they had controlled in 1945. ## Test yourself on French Rule in Vietnam - Which battle in 1954 caused France to leave Vietnam after being defeated by the Viet Minh? - How many countries attended the Geneva Accords on 21st July 1954? - How many days did the Geneva Accords order no one to move into the other half of Vietnam?
