If the initiative came from the USSR , it met a favourable response in the West and Washington. By 1954 substantive east-west negotiations had begun again , covering Germany , Austria , Korea and Indo-China (Vietnam). In one case , Austria a complete solution was found by declaring the country "neutral" , in return for a full complete evacuation of Soviet military troops and forces. In two others , Korea and Indo-China , military hostilities ended and partition of the two disputed countries , Korea and Vietnam, was accepted by both sides , in practice if not in theory. No solution was found in Germany and some initial willingness on the part of the Soviet Union was rebuffed in the west : but the very easing of east- west tension overall did enable a lowering of conflict in this central European theatre as well. It was not thought that east-west hostilities had ended , and the unfinished agenda of the first round of the Cold War was later activated and played with delayed force- most remarkably in the Indo-Chinese / Vietnamese conflict. The easing of confrontation meant that , while East-West confontation and contestation contunued the first segment of the Cold War ended and came to an end. Tratfor
