The conquest of Vietnam by France began in 1858 and was
completed by 1884. It became part of French Indochina in 1887.
Vietnam declared independence after World War II, but France
continued to rule until its 1954 defeat by Communist forces
under Ho Chi MINH. Under the Geneva Accords of 1954,
Vietnam was divided into the Communist North and
anti-Communist South. US economic and military aid to
South Vietnam grew through the 1960s in an attempt to
bolster the government, but US armed forces were withdrawn
following a cease-fire agreement in 1973. Two years later,
North Vietnamese forces overran the South reuniting the
country under Communist rule.
