	First Indochina War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The war in Indochina was not very popular with the French public, but the political stagnation of the Fourth Republic (following WW II German occupation) resulted in ongoing prosecution of the war.
		After the war, the Geneva Conference on July 21, 1954 made a provisional division of Vietnam at the 17th parallel, with the north (North Vietnam) being given to the Viet Minh under Ho Chi Minh and the south becoming the Republic of Vietnam under President Ngo Dinh Diem.
		Difficulties in the French colonial empire, specifically the loss of Indochina and the government's inability to resolve the crisis in Algeria, were major contributing factors to the fall of the Fourth Republic in 1959.
