Detailed explanation-1: -The First Indochina War was an anti-colonial war that started after Imperial Japan was defeated in the Second World War in August 1945. The conflict erupted after attempted negotiations over the fate of Indochina between Indochinese nationalists and French colonialists failed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Initially the United States had little interest in Vietnam and was equivocal about supporting France, but in 1950, due to an intensification of the Cold War and a fear that communism would prevail in Vietnam, the U.S. began providing financial and military support to French forces.
Detailed explanation-3: -Following the Geneva Accord of 1954, the French were forced to withdraw from Vietnam, which had been split into the two countries (until 1976), and French Indochina was no more.
