The coup was the culmination of nine years of autocratic and nepotistic family rule in South Vietnam. [90] Diệm's repression extended beyond communists to anti-communist dissidents and anti-corruption whistleblowers. A former mandarin of the Nguyễn dynasty , he was named Prime Minister of the State of Vietnam by Head of State Bảo Đại in 1954.

The different visions in the meanings of concepts – democracy, community, security, and social change – were substantial, and were a key cause of the strains throughout their alliance. [50], On 21 July 1954, the Geneva Accords temporarily partitioned Vietnam at the 17th parallel, pending elections in 1956 to reunify the country. [87], During his presidency, Diệm strongly focused on his central concern: internal security to protect his regime as well as maintain order and social change: staunch anti-subversion and anti-rebellion policies. Students at Saigon University boycotted classes and rioted, which led to arrests, imprisonments, and the closure of the university; this was repeated at Huế University. [141] Diễm had contacts in both the embassy and with the high-profile American journalists then in South Vietnam, David Halberstam (New York Times), Neil Sheehan (United Press International), and Malcolm Browne (Associated Press). [13] It was there that he had the only romantic relationship of his life, when he fell in love with one of his teacher's daughters. No further mass Buddhist protests occurred during the remainder of Diệm's rule.[125]. He established the Can Lao Party to support his political doctrine of Person Dignity Theory. Op 26 oktober 1955 hield Ngô Đình Diệm een referendum, waarin de bevolking zich kon uitspreken of men Bảo Đại als staatshoofd wilde behouden (Bảo Đại was 'staatshoofd' van Zuid-Vietnam, hij was sedert augustus 1945 geen keizer meer), of dat men een republiek wilde met Ngô Đình Diệm als president. Hij studeerde aan het seminarium in New Jersey. [59] According to Miller, Diệm's capacity in subduing his enemies and consolidating his power strengthened US support of his government, although the US government had planned to withdraw its backing from Diệm during his early difficult years of leadership. [11], After the tragedy of his family, Khả decided to abandon preparation for the priesthood and married. In the early 1950s, Diệm and Nhu used the party to mobilize support for Diệm's political movements. Hinh had to flee to Paris and hand over his command of the national army to general Nguyễn Văn Vy. With only the palace guard remaining to defend Diệm and his younger brother Nhu, the generals called the palace offering Diệm exile if he surrendered.

Ngô Đình Diệm (Hué, Quang Binh, 3 januari 1901 - Saigon, 2 november 1963) was een Zuid-Vietnamees politicus. On 20 December 1960, under instructions from Hanoi, southern communists established the Viet Cong (NLF) in order to overthrow the government of the south. Later zou deze broer van Ngô Đình Diệm opschudding veroorzaken door zijn niet door Rome goedgekeurde bisschopswijdingen. After his first wife died childless, Khả remarried and had twelve children with his second wife, Phạm Thị Thân (in a period of twenty-three years) of whom nine survived infancy – six sons and three daughters.

When the new assembly convened, Đán was arrested. [108] Some Catholic priests ran their own private armies,[109] and in some areas forced conversions, looting, shelling, and demolition of pagodas occurred. According to Miller, Diệm "displayed Christian piety in everything from his devotional practices to his habit of inserting references to the Bible into his speeches"; he also enjoyed showing off his knowledge of classical Chinese texts. The foreign policy of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN), according to Fishel, "to a very considerable extent", was the policy of Ngo Dinh Diem himself during this period. [68][69], Diệm's rule was also pervaded by family corruption. The first Constitution provided articles to establish the republic and organize the election of its president. Later dat jaar, na de Japanse capitulatie, werd Ngô Đình Diệm gedwongen om in ballingschap te gaan in China. In 1930 and 1931, he helped the French suppress the first peasant revolts organized by the communists. [143] Unlike the coup in 1960, the plotters of the 1963 coup knew how to gain broad support from other ARVN officer corps. [129] Nhu's purpose in leaking the meeting was to blackmail the United States with the message that if Kennedy continued to criticize Diem's handling of the Buddhist crisis, Diem would reach an understanding with the Communists. In 1933 was Ngô Đình Diệm enige maanden minister van Binnenlandse Zaken in het kabinet van keizer Bảo Đại van Annam; hij trok zich echter terug uit protest tegen het Franse koloniale bewind. Diệm also tried to establish relationships with Japanese diplomats, army officers, and intelligence operatives who supported Vietnam's independence. On 16 June 1949, he then published a new manifesto in newspapers proclaiming a third force different from Vietminh and Bảo Đại, but it raised little interest and further, his statement provided evidence to both the French and Việt Minh that Diệm was a dangerous rival. His governance style became increasingly dictatorial over time. Ngô Đình Diệm là người rất kỹ tính trong việc ăn uống. When necessary, the Party could assume the role of the government. He declined initially, but reconsidered his decision and attempted to reverse the refusal.

[58] In April 1956, along with the capture of Ba Cụt, the leader of the last Hòa Hảo rebels, Diệm almost subdued all of his non-communist enemies, and could focus on his Vietnamese communist opponents. Mansfield remembered after the luncheon with Diệm held on 8 May 1953, he felt that "if anyone could hold South Vietnam, it was somebody like Ngô Đình Diệm".[44]. He refused to carry out elections mandated by the Geneva Accords of 1954, ruled autocratically, and showed preference to fellow Roman Catholics in an overwhelmingly Buddhist country. After the Bình Xuyên was defeated and the Hòa Hảo, Cao Đài were subdued, Diệm concentrated on his most serious threat: the communists. Besides, during the 1946–54 war against the French Union forces, the Việt Minh had gained control of parts of southern Vietnam, initiated land reform, confiscated landlords' land and distributed it to the peasants. [65] At the same time, the first Constitution of the Republic of Vietnam was promulgated. Hearts, Minds and Cong Dan Vu: The Special Commissariat for Civic Action and Nation Building in Ngô Đình Diệm's Vietnam, 1955–1957. Diệm proclaimed his neutrality and attempted to establish a Third Force movement that was both anti-colonialist and anti-communist[31] In 1947, he became the founder and chief of the National Union Bloc (Khối Quốc Gia Liên Hiệp) and then folded it into the Vietnam National Rally (Việt Nam Quốc Gia Liên Hiệp), which united non-communist Vietnamese nationalists. Nevertheless, Diệm's contribution over his nine years of power from 1954 to 1963 can be appreciated at many levels due to his part in resolving the northern refugees issue, establishing and consolidating the power of his regime, subduing the sects, and pacifying the country. [140], As the Buddhist crisis deepened in July 1963, non-communist Vietnamese nationalists and the military began preparations for a coup.

In all 1,400 monks were arrested, and some thirty were injured across the country.

Diệm pursued a series of nation-building schemes, emphasising industrial and rural development. Ngô Đình Nhu, zijn broer, werd partijleider van de Can Lao Partij, de presidentiële politieke partij, en omdat Ngô Đình Diệm niet getrouwd was, vervulde Ngô Đình Nhu's echtgenote, Madame Nhu, het ambt van first lady. [80] Additionally, Diệm's government established many schools and universities, such as the National Technical Center at Phú Thọ in 1957, the University of Saigon (1956), the University of Hue (1957), and the University of Dalat (1957). Therefore, the lackey administration cannot be stabilized. Son nom de baptême est Jean-Baptiste.

Relating the events to the larger context of Vietnamese Buddhism in the 20th century and looking at the interactions between Diệm and Buddhist groups, the Buddhist protests during Diệm's regime were not only the struggles against discrimination in religious practices and religious freedom, but also the resistance of Vietnamese Buddhism to Diệm's nation-building policies centered by a personalist revolution that Buddhists considered a threat to the revival of Vietnamese Buddhist power. Diệm's foreign minister VÅ© Văn Mẫu resigned, shaving his head like a Buddhist monk in protest. Pagodas were vandalized, monks beaten, and the cremated remains of Quảng Đức, which included his heart, a religious relic, were confiscated. [12] These were Ngô Đình Khôi, Ngô Đình Thị Giao, Ngô Đình Thục, Ngô Đình Diệm, Ngô Đình Thị Hiệp, Ngô Đình Thị Hoàng, Ngô Đình Nhu, Ngô Đình Cẩn and Ngô Đình Luyện.

[24] Diệm denounced Emperor Bảo Đại as "nothing but an instrument in the hands of the French," and renounced his decorations and titles from Bảo Đại. He and his younger brother Nhu initially escaped, but were recaptured the following day and assassinated on the orders of DÆ°Æ¡ng Văn Minh, who succeeded him as president. [57] Diệm then dismantled the private armies of the Cao Đài and Hòa Hảo religious sects. The first of these was Catholic nationalism, which Diệm inherited from his family's tradition, especially from Bishop Ngô Đình Thục, his brother, and Nguyễn Hữu Bài, who advised him to "return the seal" in 1933 to oppose French policies. Madame Nhu Trần Lệ Xuân, Nhu's wife, inflamed the situation by mockingly applauding the suicides, stating, "If the Buddhists want to have another barbecue, I will be glad to supply the gasoline.
