WI French don't establish base at DBP? Say Na San baser is overrun thus air-land base is not seen as viable concept, DBP site is seen as unfavourable to offensive opeerations, whatever. End result, Viet Minh doesn't get their battle field victory, French dont get their defeat.
IMO, VM increases attacks in the Delta, draining french manpower, resulting in eventual though delayed exit. How does this affect US policy toward SE Asia? If french piss more money away in Vietnam how is their economy affected? If nuke program is delayed does France become NPT-recognised nuclear power?
