Distro - Indochina War (1946-1954) 

Robert Capa / International Center of Photography 

After World War II France reinstalled its colonial government in Indochina (after the Japanese invasion during the war). In 1946 a Vietnamese independence movement, led by communist Ho Chi Minh, started to fight against French troops to gain control of northern Vietnam. On May 7th, 1954, the French were defeated at Dien Bien Phu. The armistice, signed in Geneva, divided Vietnam into a "Democratic Republic" in the North, under communist rule, and the "State of Vietnam" in the South, under French rule.
