How did the struggle for the independence of the peoples of Indochina end? what states were formed in this region?

After World War II, the peoples of the peninsula were able to obtain a lot of captured Japanese weapons. In addition, they already saw the weakness of the French, who left at the beginning of the war literally without resistance. That only encouraged Viet, Lao and Khmer people. As a result of prolonged military resistance, by the middle of the 50s of the XX century, French Indochina ceased to exist, Paris was forced to recognize the independence of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Thailand (formerly Siam) had no colonial heritage.
