In OTL Leclerc and Saintony negociated with Ho-chi-minh in spring 1946 and barely avoided war.
In fact a peace treaty was firmed on 6th March 1946 but it was never respected : the Fontainebleau conference to apply it ended in failure on august 6th 1946.
Trouble was D'Argenlieu, which managed to wreck those negociations, then order Suffren cruiser to shell Saigon in november 1946, an event which started an eight-year long war. Then USA become involved, too, until 1975.
In the end Vietnam become communist in 1975, not in 1946.
In brief : peace in Indochina in 1946 mean no war for 30 years in Vietnam.
think it would change many things on the american side, too ?
