Dude, it's Ngo Dinh Diệm who refused to carry out the Geneva Accords , not HCM.Star√ation;2460291 said:The cause of the war had been laid out in the 1954 Geneva agreement.
We have the term "fall asleep on top of the victory" in Vietnamese you know?
Ho Chi Minh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaThe Geneva accords also provided for a national election to reunify the country in 1956, but this was rejected by Ngo Dinh Diem’s government and the United States.[38] The U.S government committed itself to contain the spread of communism in Asia beginning in 1950, when they funded 80 percent of the French effort. After Geneva, the U.S become the replacement for France as Republic of Vietnam’s chief sponsor and financial backer, but there was never a written treaty between the U.S. and South Vietnam.
Every one knew US didn't help VN in 1946 even when HCM dismissed communist party and request help from US.
