Encyclopedic overview
A Geneva Conference session The partition of French Indochina that resulted from the Conference, including the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Kingdom of Laos, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and the State of Vietnam.
The Geneva Conference was intended to settle outstanding issues resulting from the Korean War and the First Indochina War and involved several nations. It took place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 26 April to 21 July 1954. The part of the conference on the Korean question ended without adopting any declarations or proposals and so is generally considered less relevant. On the other hand, the Geneva Accords that dealt with the dismantling of French Indochina proved to have long-lasting repercussions.
