"Vietnam was divided at the 17th parallel."
Brief explanation: After the French defeat at Dien Bien Phu (1954), the Geneva Accords temporarily divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel into a communist North (Ho Chi Minh) and a noncommunist South (under Bảo Đại then Ngô Đình Diệm), with national elections planned (but never held). The communists did not take control of all Vietnam in 1954, France did not regain control, and the U.S. did not send combat troops to Vietnam until later.
