📅 21 Juli 1954 📍 Cambodja, Frankrijk, Laos, Vietnam

The Geneva Conference concluded agreements ending the First Indochina War. Vietnam was regrouped on either side of a provisional military demarcation line near the 17th parallel, with nationwide elections envisaged for 1956. The United States and State of Vietnam did not sign the final declaration, and the proposed elections were never held. The settlement ended formal French colonial rule but left Vietnam divided and conflict unresolved.
