Ngo Dinh Diem was the Premier of South Vietnam that always faced strong opposition from its neighborhood country North Vietnam. He became a dictator although his relationship with the United States government was a good one. He faced major problems such as he did not like to delegate authority, he was poor in managing government affairs and suspected of everyone who was not a family member. Diem persecuted many people during his tenure as Premier. The group that was the main target of persecution under Diem’s government was the Buddish.
