What was the 1954 agreement that ended the First Indochina War in Vietnam?

Ugh, trying to remember this… The Geneva Accords, right? It was July 21st, 1954. Took forever, like seventy-five days of grueling talks. Thirty-one sessions. Crazy.

It ended the First Indochina War. That's the big thing, obviously. Vietnam was split. North and South. A mess. My grandpa always grumbled about it.

He was stationed near Saigon, around that time. Heard stories… tough stuff. The whole thing was a total headache, apparently. So many moving pieces.

The details… fuzzy. I should really look it up properly sometime. But yeah, Geneva Accords, July 21st, 1954. That's the gist. Ended the war, started a whole new set of problems, apparently.
