According to the Geneva Accords, France granted independence to Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia.
Explanation:
The Geneva Accords were the negotiations between France and the Vietminh to decide the future of the nations that made up French Indochina.
The accords marked the beginning of the end of the French empire that was decolonizing Morocco and Tunisia to focus the largest number of troops and efforts in Algeria, its main population colony.
However, the defeat in Southeast Asia further encouraged the Algerian hopes by seeing that their metropolis could be defeated by peasants and irregular forces.
This was a type of early separation of powers but they still worked together. The church and the state were separated and controlled by different people, but the people were close so they both worked together essentially and ruled as they wanted.
