He was not initially replaced as president, but a "collective leadership" forming up of several ministers and military leaders took control of North Vietnam to continue his goal of conquering South Vietnam to unite it under Hồ's founding government.
Tôn Đức Thắng (August 20, 1888 - March 30, 1980) was the second and final President of North Vietnam and the first President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. He served as President, initially of North Vietnam from September 2, 1969, and later of the united Vietnam until his death. He was a key Vietnamese nationalist and Communist political figure, was Chairman of the National Assembly's Standing Committee 1955-1960 and served as the Vice President to Hồ Chí Minh from 1960 to 1969. At the age of 91, he was the oldest ever president of a country.
He was succeeded by one of his vice presidents, Nguyễn Hữu Thọ.
Even though Thắng had been the first president of the reunited Socialist Republic of Vietnam, he has not attained the same reverence as his predecessor, Hồ Chí Minh, had received from the Vietnamese people. Thắng served as the nation's leader during the pivotal time when North Vietnam and South Vietnam were reunified as one. Many people had left Thắng's Vietnam and became boat people in fears of Thắng's rule over the country, and the potential destruction that he could cause.
