Description: The Geneva Accords was a collection of documents relating to the future of Vietnam. Diplomats from almost a hundred nations- including the US, Soviet Union, China, France, and Great Britain attended the conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
Significance: The Geneva Accords were significant as the accords suggested that Vietnam would become an independent nation- ending 75 years of French colonialism.
