Complete History of Vietnam and Geneva Accord Worksheet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Scenario:
The Vietminh forms to push for an Independant Vietnam
For years the Americans have been sending weapons and medical supplies to the Vietminh to help defeat the Japanese
After WWII the French tries to retake control of the region
Both France and the Vietminh looks to the Americans for help
Decision 1: 1945
Decision 1: 1945
Decision 2: 1954
The Scenario:
After the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu, they were forced to the negotiation table
Britain, France, China, USA, USSR, the Vietminh and the Associated States of Vietnam met in Geneva to create an agreement
What they come up with was the Geneva Accord
Decision 2: 1954
What America did:
They did not support the Accord and the 1956 unified elections did not happen
They cold not risk Vietnam going the same way as China
The consequences
Vietnam is split into North and South Vietnam
The Americans support the anti-communist leader Ngo Dinh Diem in South Vietnam
He soon becomes very unpopular in South Vietnam
The Scenario
There is much dissatisfaction in the North and South that the 1956 elections never occured
This along with the unpopularity of Diem led to the formation of the NLF in the South
The North, which had been funded by China and the USSR, began to actively support military opposition in the South, such as the Vietcong
Decision 3: 1961
What America did:
The Americans sent military advisors as they felt the had to support the South given their history
Kennedy also created the Special Forces, Green Berets for covert opperations
The consequences:
Almost 16,000 US 'military advisors' were in South Vietnam by 1963
The US advisors reported the South Vietnam army was not up to the job of fighting the Vietcong or the North
Decision 3: 1961
What the Americans did:
Congress passes the Gulf of Tonkin resolution
They later start bombing as part of 'Operation Rolling Thunder' and send more troops
The consequences:
North Vietnam see the resolution as a declaration of war so the Vietcong attacked a US airbase in Pleiku, hastening US escalation
The Second Indochina War begins (or the Vietnam war as we call it)
Decision 4: 1964
The Situation:
In 1963 both Kennedy and Diem are assasinated in the space of a couple of weeks
The insurgency in the South is becoming more and more powerful and it appeared Communists would soon overthrow the government
The Gulf of Tonkin event gives America cacus belli to intervene and get Congressional funding
Decision 4: 1964
Support the Vietminh: After all you do stand for Freedom
Support the French: France is an importnant ally
Stay out of it: It's thousands of miles away
TIP: Think of what else is happening in the world at the end of WWII
What the Americans did:
They supported the French
They needed the French as allies against expansionist USSR in Europe
The consequences:
The first Indochina war broke out and lasted for 8 years, finishing with a French defeat at Dien Bien Phu
As the war went on, America became convinced of a Communist plot
Decision 1: 1945
Decision 2: 1954
Support the Accord: We believe in self-determination
Oppose the Accord: We can't support Communism
Invade Vietnam: We must stop the domino effect at any cost
TIP: Think of what else is happening in the world, i.e. the Cold War
Decision 3: 1961
Send Troops into Vietnam: The Communist resistance must be stopped
Send military advisors: It helps the South with minimal US risk
Do nothing: Let history take its course in Vietnam
TIP: Think of what else is happening in the world, i.e. The Cold War
Decision 4: 1964
Send Troops into Vietnam: The ARVN is not up to the job without US help
Airstrikes to the North: That will stop the NLF's funding
Pull out entirely: We've aready intervened too much in a lost cause
TIP: Think of what else is happening in the world, i.e. The Cold War
