	Ex-South Vietnam President Dies
		South Vietnam was overrun shortly after his departure.
		Born a southerner, he was a fervent anti-communist, a military professional leading an army often vilified as unwilling to fight, and a crafty practitioner of the intrigues that typified Saigon politics.
		He was elected president in 1967 and again four years later, in voting that was hardly a model of democracy.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1996-97
		We both overestimated the effect of South Vietnam's loss on the security of the West and failed to adhere to the fundamental principle that, in the final analysis, if the South Vietnamese were to be saved, they had to win the war themselves.
		South Vietnam was explicitly protected, by the Laos Accords of 1962, from the North Vietnamese transiting of Laos and Cambodia, via the Ho Chi Minh Trails and the Cambodian ports.
		Each president was followed by a series of weak rulers, and then their countries found relative stability with men of the next generation--in Korea under Park, in Vietnam under Thieu and Ky from 1965.

	Battlefield:Vietnam \| History
		In 1955, with the help of massive amounts of American military, political, and economic aid, the Government of the Republic of Vietnam (GVN or South Vietnam) was born.
		The Vietnam War did have a major impact on everyday life in America, and the Johnson administration was forced to consider domestic consequences of its decisions every day.
		The new president continued a process called "Vietnamization", an awful term that implied that Vietnamese were not fighting and dying in the jungles of Southeast Asia.

	America's War in Vietnam: 1954 to 1973
		President Johnson said: "Because I don't want to be the first American President to lose a war." Just imagine if the American people knew that their own President didn't believe in the war and was only fighting it to save his reputation and save the Democratic party from charges that they were soft on communism.
		By the late 1950s, the top CIA official in South Vietnam, Edward Lansdale, described the emerging government of South Vietnam as "an emerging fascist state." This was supposedly the independent, democratic South Vietnam that Johnson said America was supporting.
		President Johnson lied to Congress and the American people and claimed that American destroyers had been attacked by the North Vietnamese without provocation, when in fact they were firing on North Vietnamese ships.

	Viet Nam War Overview
		The president maintained that South Vietnam was a peace-loving democracy and that the Communists were out to destroy his new country.
		From 1960 through late 1964, the Party believed it could win a military victory in the South "in a relative short period of time." This overly optimistic prediction was based on a limited war scenario in South Vietnam, and not on the introduction of U.S. combat troops.
		The Vietnam War did have a major impact on everyday life in America and the Johnson administration was forced to consider the domestic consequences of its decisions everyday.

	Portsmouth Herald Mass News: Former president of South Vietnam, Nguyen Van Thieu, dead at 78
		He presided over the U.S.-backed South Vietnam until the fall of its capital city, Saigon, in 1975, to Communist-led troops from North Vietnam.
		Thieu's legacy as the man who presided over the fall of South Vietnam cannot be separated from decisions of the American government, said Chau Tran, former secretary general of South Vietnam's House of Deputies.
		After the ceremonial post of chief of state, Thieu was elected president in September 1967 after pulling off a stunning switch with his rival, Prime Minister Nguyen Cao Ky, who had previously wielded the most influence in the South Vietnamese military regime.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Winter 1996-97
		The South, with its territorially based ARVN units, was unable to shift forces to the north to counter the move of the Cambodian-based forces closer to North Vietnam.
		The operation boomeranged by producing a hostile congressional reaction and the subsequent reduction of funds for the war effort.[42] To better evaluate the effects of the 1970 Cambodian operation, it is helpful to consider it in a broader context, in the events that unfolded in 1972.
		Consequently, the much-maligned ground forces of South Vietnam, with their US advisors and the support of US air and sea power, were able to halt a massive attack by the more highly regarded forces of North Vietnam.

	AsianWeek.com: National News: General Duong Van Minh Dies at 86 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Minh became South Vietnam’s president in April 1975 as the country crumbled under an onslaught from North Vietnam’s Communist forces.
		After French colonial rule ended in 1954, Minh ascended through the ranks of the new South Vietnamese military, where he was known as “Big Minh” because fellow troops were dwarfed by his 6-foot frame, and to distinguish him from other officers with the same name.
		In the final days, as Thieu fled the country, he was named interim president on April 28, 1975, with a promise to seek a reconciliation with the northerners.

		President Ho Chi Minh's Letter to President Lyndon Johnson of February 15, 1967, is the classic brief and noble statement of Ho's anti-imperialist determination.
