South Vietnamese officers overthrew President Ngo Dinh Diem in November 1963 due to widespread discontent with his authoritarian rule, favoritism towards Catholics, and ineffective handling of the growing communist insurgency. His oppressive policies alienated many Buddhists, leading to significant civil unrest and protests. The military, seeking to restore stability and gain U.S. support, believed that removing Diem was necessary for a more effective governance strategy against the Viet Cong. Ultimately, the coup was also influenced by the U.S. government's loss of confidence in Diem's leadership.

No. Johnson only became President three weeks afterDiem was murdered. Diem was killed during the overthrow of his Government by the South Vietnamese military. Although there are indications that the Kennedy Administration had at least given the officers behind the coup some encouragement - Diem was a highly impopular dictator - there is no indication that it ever supported his murder, which was by the way not a result of planning but of Diem and his equally hated brother being caught by chance by a group of soldiers loyal to the overthrow when trying to escape the country.
