In 1954, French Indochina consisted of three main territories: Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Vietnam was divided into three regions: Tonkin in the north, Annam in the central region, and Cochinchina in the south. The French controlled these areas until their defeat at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, which marked the end of French colonial rule in Indochina. Following this, the Geneva Accords led to the partition of Vietnam and the eventual independence of Laos and Cambodia.
