When South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was overthrown in a coup on November 1, 1963, it led to a power vacuum and significant instability in South Vietnam. The coup was supported by the United States, which had grown disillusioned with Diem's authoritarian regime and inability to combat the Viet Cong insurgency effectively. Following his assassination, a series of short-lived governments struggled for control, exacerbating the ongoing conflict and ultimately deepening U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. This shift marked a critical turning point in the struggle for Vietnam, leading to increased violence and chaos in the years that followed.

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.
