Diệm has been a controversial historical figure in historiography on the [[Vietnam War]]. Some historians have considered him a tool of the United States, while others portrayed him as an avatar of Vietnamese tradition. Some recent studies have portrayed Diệm from a more Vietnamese-centred perspective as a competent leader focused on nation building and the modernisation of South Vietnam.

The country of Vietnam, which held a referendum in South Vietnam, in 1955 deposed Head of State Bao Dai and appointed Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem as head of state. The referendum was accused of fraud as in Saigon, Ngo Dinh Diem got 605,025 votes while the country had only around 450,000 registered voters.

Ngo Dinh Diem also ordered the demolition of the resistance monuments and the leveling of the Viet Minh martyrs' cemetery during the Indochina War, an act of grave insult to Vietnamese worship practices. According to the Nhan Dan newspaper, since the end of 1954, under the order of the United States, the government of Ngo Dinh Diem provoked bloody massacres in Ngan Son, Chi Thanh, Cho Duoc, Mo Cay, Cu Chi, Binh Thanh. From May 1955 to May 1956, Ngo Dinh Diem launched the first phase "plus denominator campaign" throughout the South; 6-1955, opened the Thoai Ngoc Hau campaign to sweep the areas that used to be a resistance against the French Viet Minh base. The Government of the Republic of Vietnam carried out the campaign of communist accusations, communist extermination, interdisciplinary defense and consolidation of people to form strategic hamlets ... Vietnamese people, as well as historical circumstances. The harshest measures were applied, for example, on August 16, 1954, the army of the Republic of Vietnam opened fire to suppress protesters in the city of Go Cong, shooting and killing 8 people and wounding 162 people. Between 1955 and 1960, according to the Republic of Vietnam, 48,250 people were imprisoned, according to another source, about 24,000 people were injured, 80,000 were executed or killed, 275,000 were imprisoned. imprisoned, interrogated with or without torture, and around 500,000 were sent to concentration camps. This distorted the social model, reduced the people's trust in the Ngo Dinh Diem government and pushed the resistance (Viet Minh) into the forest to form a war zone. The Viet Minh responded with protests demanding the release of their officers or organizing vicious exterminations: the murder of government personnel of Ngo Dinh Diem and his collaborators were described as "cruel and spies". To increase intimidation, the South Vietnamese Republic used the guillotine to execute the prisoners. Many murder cases in the Republic of Vietnam were carried out publicly in front of the public and the heads of the prisoners were removed to warn them. The Straits Times (Singapore) of July 24, 1959 published an article reporting on about 1,000 people who saw the massacre in Saigon. The Morning Newspaper (Saigon) of October 15, 1959 wrote: In the absence of the Special Military Tribunal on October 2, Nguyen Van Lep, or Tu Ut Lep, a Viet Cong, was sentenced to death. A week ago, Lep got caught in a police net in a forest in Tay Ninh. The death sentence has been carried out ... Currently, the Hao Duoc commune council has made public the head and liver of the condemned man. On May 6, 1959, the National Assembly of the Republic of Vietnam passed Law No. 91 called Law 10-59, later signed by the President of the Republic of Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem. This law provides for the organization of special military tribunals on the basis of "adjudication of war crimes against the Republic of Vietnam", in order to purge the communists in South Vietnam. According to law 10-59, the accused can be brought to trial without the need to open an investigation, the sentence is only of two levels: death or torture, the trial lasts 3 days is maximum, no amnesty or appeal; the death penalty instrument also includes a guillotine.After the promulgation of this law, the revolutionary forces of the South were heavily persecuted, arrested and persecuted by the Diem government, especially the members of the Communist Party, so the force suffered great losses.

Diem, assisted by U.S. military and economic aid, was able to resettle hundreds of thousands of refugees from North Vietnam in the south, but his own Catholicism and the preference he showed for fellow Roman Catholics made him unacceptable to Buddhists, who were an overwhelming majority in South Vietnam. Diem never fulfilled his promise of land reforms, and during his rule communist influence and appeal grew among southerners as the communist-inspired [[Việt Cộng]], launched an increasingly intense guerrilla war against his government. The military tactics Diem used against the insurgency were heavy-handed and ineffective and served only to deepen his government’s unpopularity and isolation.
