a conference was called in geneva to work out a way for allowing the french to exit. there's a new french government. socialist, he wants to get out because he doesn't want to continue fighting. china suggests a deal. the deal is to divide vietnam in two with the communist having control of the north. and the french and their supporters having control of the south. the americans don't like this. but the french have already agreed separately with the chinese to do this. the vietnamese nationalists feel betrayed but the deal is done and the so-called geneva accords are publicized but nobody has ever signed them. the people can relocate. and a new government is set up in south vietnam. it is technically the old french union government with a new prime minister. the question in the fall of 1954 is what are the americans going to do? vis-a-vis vietnam and southeast asia. well one of the things is we set up under dulles, looking to create containment against the mao in china. a decision was made to support the south vietnamese government. this was affirmed by the letter of
