In March 1953, a large and very successful Vietminh drove a new front in Laos and almost conquered Lao's capital. This prompted the King of Laos as well as the French government (as Laos was an associated state), to consider asking the UN to help out like the Koreans did in the Korean War only 3 years before that.
The idea was debated by the French Council of Ministers and had the support from some segments of the military as well as the Premier, the President of the Republic and the Minister for National Defence, René Pleven, but the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Georges Bidault was against it and he imposed his will.
So, your challenge would be, that in the case Bidault is overridden by his colleagues, what would be the consequences of the Laos and French governments asking the UN to intervene to stop communism from spreading to south-east Asia?
