President Ngo Dinh Diem's policies alienated peasants in Vietnam primarily through land reforms that favored wealthy landowners and failed to address rural poverty. His promotion of the Strategic Hamlet Program forcibly relocated villagers into fortified areas, disrupting their traditional way of life and making them feel like prisoners. Additionally, Diem's oppressive measures against perceived political dissent, including repression of Buddhist practices, further fueled resentment among the rural population. As a result, many peasants began to support the Viet Cong, who promised land reform and social justice.
