Geneva Agreement on Indochina an agreement negotiated following the fall of the French fortress at Dien Bien Phu, Vietnam. Signed on July 21, 1954, it included a cease-fire, a military demarcation line along the 17th parallel to divide the country of Vietnam, and a call for free elections in July 1956 to reunify Vietnam. The United States and southern Vietnam refused to sign the agreement. The United States subsequently led the formation of the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO).
