- The Federal government of the United States firmly opposed the independence of Vietnam from France.
- Of course, as an ally of France, the US government expressed its entire support to the government of France.
- France tried to keep control over this former French colony.
- H* Chi Minh was the leader of the nationalist movement in Vietnam, and his Vietminh League fought to gain independence from France.
- However, the Geneva Conference restricted H* Chi Minh’s plans.
- The decision in that conference was that France had to remove their troops and Vietnam had to be divided at the 17th parallel.
