Van de achttien leden van het Diệm-kabinet waren er vijf katholieken, vijf confucianen en acht boeddhisten, waaronder een vice-president en een minister van Buitenlandse Zaken. [131] Until the end of his life, Diệm, along with his brother Nhu still believed that their nation-building was successful and they could resolve the Buddhist crisis in their own way, like what they had done with the Hinh crisis in 1954 and the struggle with the Bình Xuyên in 1955.[132].

[60], In South Vietnam, a referendum was scheduled for 23 October 1955 to determine the future direction of the south, in which the people would choose Diệm or Bảo Đại as the leader of South Vietnam. Diệm came to support Vietnamese nationalism, promoting an anti-communist and anti-colonialist "third way" opposed to both Bảo Đại and communist leader Hồ Chí Minh. At the end of 1963, the program had built more than two hundred settlements for a quarter of a million people. Many officers in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam converted to Catholicism in the belief that their military prospects depended on it.

[67] Cẩn was put in charge of the former Imperial City of Huế. Hij studeerde aan het seminarium in New Jersey. De realiteit van de feiten lijkt aan deze vermoedens geloof te hechten; de Amerikanen, die graag sterker willen meedoen in Zuid-Vietnam (sturen van troepen, installatie van Amerikaanse bases, wat Ngo Dinh Diem weigerde[6], uit vrees dat een dergelijk initiatief Noord-Vietnamese propaganda zou dienen; samenwerking tussen Zuid-Vietnamese troepen en Amerikaanse militaire adviseurs), geloven dat de laatste niet in staat is om de guerrilla's van de Viet Cong[7] te verslaan en zal proberen de macht[8][9] of zelfs moord omver te werpen, voortbouwend op dit feit ligt op een militaire junta die zelfs nog gunstiger wordt geacht voor een toename van de Amerikaanse inzet tegen de communisten, leidend tot een escalatie van spanningen en de Vietnamoorlog die daarop volgde.

[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. [61] During the election, Diệm's brother Ngô Đình Nhu and the Cần Lao Party supplied Diệm's electoral base in organizing and supervising the elections, especially the propaganda campaign for destroying Bảo Đại's reputation. [33] In the meantime, the French had created the State of Vietnam and Diệm refused Bảo Đại's offer to become the Prime Minister. A curfew was subsequently enacted. [148], After Diệm's assassination, South Vietnam was unable to establish a stable government and several coups took place after his death. 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. [16] According to Moyar, Diệm's personality was too independent to adhere to the discipline of the Church, while Jarvis recalls Ngô Đình Thục's ironic observation that the Church was "too worldly" for Diệm. Diệm believed that the program would help improve civilians' lives, teach them the values of being self-reliant and hard working.

[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. [55] In April 1955, Diệm's army forces took most of Bình Xuyên's posts in Saigon after a victory in the Battle of Saigon. According to Diệm, it was the communists who threw a grenade into the crowd. However, Bảo Đại had already given the post to Trần Trọng Kim. [93] There was a further attempt to assassinate Diệm and his family in February 1962 when two air force officers—acting in unison—bombarded the Presidential Palace. On 20 December 1960, under instructions from Hanoi, southern communists established the Viet Cong (NLF) in order to overthrow the government of the south. However, according to Miller, the program created a remarkable turnabout in Diệm's regime in their war against communism. His most trusted official was Nhu, leader of the primary pro-Diệm Can Lao political party, who was an opium addict and admirer of Adolf Hitler. Hinh also bragged that he was preparing a coup. [119] However, the ban on religious flags led to a protest led by Thích Trí Quang against the government, which was suppressed by Diệm's forces, and unarmed civilians were killed in the clash. On 11 November 1960, "a failed coup attempt against President Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam was led by Lieutenant Colonel VÆ°Æ¡ng Văn Đông and Colonel Nguyễn Chánh Thi of the Airborne Division of the ARVN (ARVN)".

[46], In early 1954, Bảo Đại offered Diệm the position of Prime Minister in the new government in Vietnam. [14] During his childhood, Diệm laboured in the family's rice fields while studying at a French Catholic primary school (Pellerin School) in Huế, and later entered a private school started by his father, where he studied French, Latin, and classical Chinese. [89], By the end of 1959, Diệm was able to entirely control each family and the communists had to suffer their "darkest period" in their history. Everything that could be done in an attempt to crush the revolution was carried out by Diệm. Diệm's main measures for internal security were threats, punishment and intimidation. 252–53, Annie Jacobsen, "Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins," (New York: Little Brown and Company, 2019), p. 148, Michigan State University Vietnam Advisory Group, 1956 South Vietnamese Constitutional Assembly election, 1959 South Vietnamese parliamentary election, 1962 South Vietnamese Independence Palace bombing, Ngô Đình Diệm presidential visit to Australia, Ngô Đình Diệm presidential visit to the United States, Arrest and assassination of Ngô Đình Diệm, "New York Hails Vietnam's President Diem (1957)", https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngô_Đình_Khả, Unheralded Victory: The Defeat Of The Viet Cong And The North Vietnamese ... – Mark William Woodruff – Google Books, The 1966 Buddhist Crisis in South Vietnam, SNIE 53-2-63, "The Situation in South Vietnam, 10 July 1963, Arrest and assassination of Ngo Dinh Diem, Provisional Central Government of Vietnam, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&oldid=1002599775, 20th-century executions of Vietnamese people, Short description is different from Wikidata, Articles containing Vietnamese-language text, Pages using infobox officeholder with unknown parameters, Wikipedia articles needing page number citations from February 2018, Articles with unsourced statements from May 2020, Articles with unsourced statements from August 2020, Articles with unsourced statements from February 2020, Wikipedia articles with PLWABN identifiers, Wikipedia articles with SELIBR identifiers, Wikipedia articles with SNAC-ID identifiers, Wikipedia articles with SUDOC identifiers, Wikipedia articles with Trove identifiers, Wikipedia articles with WORLDCATID identifiers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Nevertheless, since Diệm had to pay much attention to domestic issues in the context of the Vietnam War, foreign policy did not receive appropriate attention from him. [23], In 1929, he was promoted to the governorship of Bình Thuận Province and was known for his work ethic. Diệm recognized that concern and broadened his lobbying efforts to include a development focus in addition to anti-communism and religious factors. [118] According to Miller, Diệm then proclaimed the flag embargo because he was annoyed with the commemoration for Thục. Only three of the top nineteen military officials were Catholics. Finally, in January 1959, under pressure from southern Viet Cong cadres who were being successfully targeted by Diệm's secret police, Hanoi's Central Committee issued a secret resolution authorizing the use of armed insurgency in the South with supplies and troops from the North.

The Democratic Republic of Vietnam controlled the north, while the French-backed State of Vietnam controlled the south with Diệm as the Prime Minister. He also used Army of the Republic of Vietnam personnel to work on his timber and construction projects. [135] For Japan, Diệm's regime established diplomatic relations for the recognition of war reparations, which led to a reparation agreement in 1959 with the amount of $49 million. [27] After contacting Cường Để, Diệm formed a secret political party, the Association for the Restoration of Great Vietnam (Việt Nam Đại Việt Phục HÆ°ng Hội), which was dominated by his Catholic allies in Hue. Hôm 2/11, Giám mục Hoàng Đức Oanh nói với VOA sau khi cùng với các linh mục và hàng trăm tín đồ công giáo đã làm lễ cầu nguyện cho cố Tổng thống Ngô Đình Diệm nhân ngày giỗ thứ 55 tại Nghĩa trang Lái Thiêu tỉnh Bình Dương rằng ngài Tổng thống xứng đáng được an nghĩ tại một nơi đàng hoàng hơn.

On 1 November 1963, the country's leading generals launched a coup d'état with assistance from the CIA. During his presidency, Diệm imposed programs to reform Saigon society in accordance with Catholic and Confucian values. After gaining French permission, he left in August 1950 with his older brother, Bishop Ngô Đình Thục. In October 1956, with the urge from Wolf Ladejinsky, Diệm's personal adviser on agrarian reform, Diệm promulgated a more serious ordinance on the land reform, in which he proclaimed a "land to the tiller" (not to be confused with other Land reform in South Vietnam like Nguyễn Văn Thiệu's later 'Land to the Tiller" program) program to put a relatively high 100 hectares limit on rice land and 15 hectares for ancestral worship. 10 năm ngày mất của bà Ngô Đình Thị Hiệp, người em gái ít được công chúng biết đến của Tổng thống Việt Nam Cộng Hòa Ngô Đình Diệm.

[78], In May 1961, U.S. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson visited Saigon and enthusiastically declared Diệm the "Winston Churchill of Asia." [47], In the first period of his premiership, Diệm did not have much power in the government; he lacked control of the military and police forces, and the civil system's key positions were still held by French officials. [28] When its existence was discovered in the summer of 1944, the French declared Diệm to be a subversive and ordered his arrest. [138] Keith Taylor adds that Diệm's distrust of the US grew because of its Laotian policy, which gave North Vietnam access to South Vietnam's border through southern Laos. He declined and, in 1918, enrolled at the prestigious School of Public Administration and Law in Hanoi, a French school that prepared young Vietnamese to serve in the colonial administration. On 3 June 1963, protesters attempted to march towards the Từ Đàm pagoda. In May 1954, the French surrendered at Điện Biên Phủ and the Geneva Conference began in April 1954. [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. In 1956, after the "Anti-Communist Denunciation Campaign", Diệm issued Ordinance No. Onder leiding van de katholieke Ngô Đình Diệm en zijn familie werden opium-salons, echtscheiding, abortus en bordelen in Zuid-Vietnam verboden.

[87], Agroville program (khu trù mật): During late 1959 and early 1960, motivated by the idea of population regroupment, Diệm introduced the Agroville Program, which he intended to physically relocate residents who lived in remote and isolated regions in Mekong delta into new settlements in "dense and prosperous areas"—proposing to offer them urban modernity and amenities without leaving their farms,[87] and to keep them far away from the communists. The coup d'état on 1 November 1963 will not be the last. In September 1945, after the Japanese withdrawal, Hồ Chí Minh proclaimed the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and in the Northern half of Vietnam, his Việt Minh began fighting the French. Diệm's foreign minister VÅ© Văn Mẫu resigned, shaving his head like a Buddhist monk in protest. [13] The French were impressed by his work ethic but were irritated by his frequent calls to grant more autonomy to Vietnam. Diệm was born into a prominent Catholic family, the son of a high-ranking civil servant, Ngô Đình Khả.

Over 100 of the Ngô clan were "burned alive in a church including Khả's parents, brothers, and sisters. He also could not control the Bank of Indochina. Nonetheless, by late 1960, Diệm had to admit that the program's objective failed since the residents were not happy with the program and the communists infiltrated it, and he had to discard it. The government also dug irrigation canals, built dikes, and dredged swamp-lands to help stabilise their lives. Candidates who ran against government-supported opponents faced harassment and intimidation. The Nhus amassed a fortune by running numbers and lottery rackets, manipulating currency and extorting money from Saigon businesses. [15] Diệm swore himself to celibacy to prove his devotion to his faith, but found monastic life too rigorous and decided not to pursue a clerical career. He worked for the commander of the French armed forces as an interpreter and took part in campaigns against anti-colonial rebels in the mountains of Tonkin during 1880. De Noord-Vietnamese Vietminh werd steeds populairder, evenals haar in Zuid-Vietnam opererende tak, de Vietcong. Diệm's disposition of Bảo Đại and the establishment of the First Republic of Vietnam was a way to claim Vietnamese independence from France.

[149], Diệm's assassination led to the collapse of his regime and the end of the first Republic of Vietnam. Moreover, Diệm was ambitious to envision Resettlement as a tactic to practice the government's ideological goals. Van 1955 tot 1963 was hij president van Zuid-Vietnam. Diệm used his conventional anti-communist argument, identifying the dissenters as communists. No further mass Buddhist protests occurred during the remainder of Diệm's rule.[125].
