Question

What were the causes of defeat of French forces in the battle of Dien Bien Phu?​

Answer 1

At the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the french forces were smartly and carefully handled by the Vietminh soldiers. They used the long grass and nature around them to their advantage, pushing aside the smart remark by their captain that by noon(im not sure of this fact) they would win and take control over the place.

The reasons were-

-The valley that the French went through was flooded during monsoon.

-The vietminh used the long grass to their advantage to place anti aircraft guns and large machinery.

-They bombed down any plane of the French, thus there was no food and articles reaching them.

-The French air strip was destroyed due to immense bombing by the Vietnam soldiers, thus making it impossible to land a flight, that is if they survived the anti aircraft bombing, which is easier said than done.

(iii) Supplies and reinforcements could not reach the French garrison.
