Best Answer

Two interrelated threats faced the government of South Vietnam in 1960. One problem was the threat of an expanding control of its countryside by pro-communists. This posed the threat of a deeper civil war within the South. Secondly, the Saigon government was under a threat by non-communists who believed the Saigon government was not doing enough to protect the nation from a takeover by communists who wished to join with communist North Vietnam to form one unified communist nation.Demonstrations in the capital city of Saigon and elsewhere would be infiltrated by communists with the design to exploit any turmoil with South Vietnam.
