Ngô Đình Diệm was a prominent South Vietnamese politician who served as the last prime minister of the State of Vietnam before becoming the first president of South Vietnam. He played a crucial role in forming the Republic of Vietnam, advocating for anti-communism and Vietnamese nationalism. Despite enduring numerous assassination attempts and coup plots, Diệm focused on nation-building initiatives and counterinsurgency strategies during the Vietnam War. However, his biased treatment of Catholics and harsh treatment of Buddhists eventually contributed to his overthrow and assassination in 1963.
