The vietnamese war of independence and the division of Vietnam into north and south?
Divided at the 17th parallel in 54/55.
What were the Geneva Accords and what did they establish?
The Geneva Accords divided Korea in 1954
What was the US sphere of influence in the cold war?
All areas outside of the Communist countries. South of the 38th Parallel in Korea. South of the 17th Parallel in Vietnam. West of the East/West German line, etc.
What was the 17th paralle?
The 17th parallel is the line of latitude 17 degrees North of the Equator. I'm not sure of any particular significance to WWII directly; it was where Vietnam was divided into North and South (in the mid-1950s) though, which might be what you're thinking of.
How did the US get involved in the vienam war in the first place?
When the Geneva Accords divided up the country following the end of the French Indochina War in 1954/55, the communists took the lands north of the 17th Parallel, and the free world occupied the country south of the 17th Parallel; the US was involved immediately at that time.
