Maybe because it was called the american plan and was going to be supervised by the UN, who, with the US, didn't have a good track record at this point.Really? Tell me more about our role in stopping the vietnam elections when we knew Ho chi would get the people's support.
What elections and where exactly?the non-communist Vietnamese delegation objected strenuously to any division of Vietnam, but lost out when the French accepted the proposal of Viet Minh delegatePhạm Văn Đồng,[60] who proposed that Vietnam eventually be united by elections under the supervision of "local commissions".[61] The United States countered with what became known as the "American Plan," with the support of South Vietnam and the United Kingdom.[62] It provided for unification elections under the supervision of the United Nations, but was rejected by the Soviet delegation and North Vietnamese.[62]
I thought you said we stopped election and your own link says otherwise. Why they rejected it?
Bottom line, communists cant win election unless they're only choice on the ballot.
