DSST History Of The Vietnam War Practice Test

In what year did the Geneva Conference take place, at which the Viet Minh participated?

1950 1954 1956 1958

Correct Answer:

1954

Explanation:

Timing of the Geneva Conference and Viet Minh participation is the focus. After the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu in 1954, negotiations among France, the Viet Minh, and other powers were held in Geneva. The conference in 1954 produced the Geneva Accords, establishing a ceasefire, the withdrawal of French forces, and a temporary division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel with elections planned for reunification. That makes 1954 the correct year for when the Viet Minh took part in the Geneva Conference. The other years don’t fit the sequence: 1950 comes before the decisive end of the war, while 1956 and 1958 occur after the Geneva proceedings and its agreements.
