President Diem talked about making South Vietnam a true democracy - but he used a very autocratic style of leadership and didn't expand democratic rule in his country. He also was a Catholic - anathema to the traditional Buddhist monk religious leadership at that time.
The Buddhists strongly and publicly protested while the U.S. chose to withdraw support for Diem.
He was captured and killed in a military coup 'sponsored' by the U.S. government.

Why was Ngo Dinh Diem killed?
The 1st answer to this question is totally wrong. Basically the people who first answered this question is young and know nothing about the Vietnam history especially the Vietnam war. Ngo Dinh Diem was killed by CIA; not only Ngo Dinh Diem but also JFK. Ngo Dinh Diem didn't want US role involved too much in Vietnam because he know that if the American controlled the South Vietnam, North communists ( Ho Chi Minh ) would blame for that reason and brainwashed people more easier. Because of that, CIA did kill Ngo Dinh Diem.
