Answer: Vietnam
Step-by-step explanation:
In 1950, with the outbreak of fighting in Korea, the struggle in Vietnam became a major battleground in the cold war. When the Korean War ended, the United States continued its efforts to bolster French control of Vietnam. By the end of 1953, the Eisenhower administration was paying nearly 80 percent of the cost of the French military effort in Indochina; the United States had found itself at the “brink” of military intervention. On May 7, 1954, the Viet Minh fighters overwhelmed the last French resistance at Dien Bien Phu. The catastrophic defeat at Dien Bien Phu signaled the end of French colonial rule in Asia. Six weeks later, a new French government promised to negotiate a complete withdrawal from Indochina after nearly a hundred years of interrupted colonial control. The accords gave the Viet Minh Communists control in the North, where they imposed a totalitarian communist system at a cost of one hundred thousand executions; the French would remain south of the line until nationwide elections in 1956 would reunify all of Vietnam.
