Nguyen Van Thieu
(1923-2001) president of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) (1967-75). Thieu played a significant part in the 1963 coup against Ngo Dinh Diem and held various government offices before being elected president in 1967 and again in 1971. Throughout the period of escalation of the Vietnam War, the United States supported his authoritarian regime. Thieu, who had participated only reluctantly in the 1973 peace agreements, held onto power and resigned only when communist troops from North Vietnam surrounded the southern capital. He left the country shortly afterward and eventually settled in England.
