The
Geneva Accords
Hello ~ I'm Walter Bedell Smith, U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union. I read a statement at the convention on July 21, 1954, in which the US promised to abide by the terms of the agreements and "refrain from the threat or use of force to disturb" them.[1] Specifically, the statement seemed to promise not only US acquiescence to the mandated elections, but aid in executing them.
The part of the conference on the Korean question ended without adopting any declarations or proposals. Some participants and analysts blame the U.S. for having obstructed movements towards the unification of Korea as a Communist state.[3][4][5] On Indochina, the conference produced a set of documents known as the Geneva Accords. These agreements separated Vietnam into two zones, a northern zone to be governed by the Viet Minh, and a southern zone to be governed by the State of Vietnam, then headed by former emperor Bảo Đại. A "Conference Final Declaration", issued by the British chairman of the conference, provided that a "general election" be held by July 1956 to create a unified Vietnamese state. Although presented as a consensus view, this document was not accepted by the delegates of either South Vietnam or the United States. In addition, three separate ceasefire accords, covering Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, were signed at the conference.poster yourself
