How did the Geneva accords change Vietnam?
In 1956, it divided Vietnam at the 17th parallel into North and South Vietnam. They remained that way until the South Vietnam government surrendered to North Vietnam forces in April, 1975.
Temporarily divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel?
No man's land, the "Z" (DMZ=Demilitarized Zone). Korea's "Z" (DMZ) at the 38th parallel still exists, separating Communist North Korea from the republic of South Korea.
Who decided to divide Vietnam?
That was quite complicated. After French troops were defeated in the battle of Dien Bien Phu in May 7, 1954, the Geneva Conference (which had been held before) came to an agreement known as the Geneva Accords. In this this set of treaties, France and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam both agreed to withdraw their troops to different parts of the country (Vietnamese forces to the North, and French troops to the South). After that, French army would retreat completely from Vietnam and two regions would unify in an election. However, U.S. government later refused to follow that schedule because they had never signed the Accords. They set up a pro-America government with Ngo Dinh Diem as president in South Vietnam while communists still controlled the North. To conclude, it was France, America and, ironically, Vietnam (didn't know what it was doing) who divided Vietnam.
What were the 1973 the Paris Peace Accords?
On January 27, 1973, the Paris Peace Accords were signed with the goal of ending American involvement in Vietnam. The signers were North Vietnam, South Vietnam, the United States and the Provisional Revolutionary Government who represented South Vietnamese revolutionaries.
What was the result of the Geneva accord?
Because of the Geneva Convention, the cuty Japanese became monkeys and they were kiiled
