Diem was overthrown because he was an unjust ruler, who had ignored his people, and gained his power through terrible means. He was more interested in having power, and his own personal gain than he cared about the people. When the people began to rise up they were violently put down (e.g. the Buddhist protesters). In his rise to power, he had won a staged election in which he cheated his way into eliminating any competition, Dr. Dan being the favored leader by a landslide. After so much abuse, the even his own Generals had decided to rise up and they staged a coup, ending his tyrannical reign.

Diem was difficult to deal with. His regime had terrorized South Vietnam and was wildly unpopular (especially his brother). The CIA was in contact with generals planning to remove Diem. They were told that the United States would not oppose such a move nor punish the generals by cutting off aid. President Diem was overthrown and executed, along with his brother, on November 2, 1963. When he was informed, Maxwell Taylor remembered that Kennedy "rushed from the room with a look of shock and dismay on his face." He had not approved Diem's murder. The U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam, Henry Cabot Lodge, invited the coup leaders to the embassy and congratulated them.
