The correct answers are that the United States supported corrupt leaders in Vietnam, and that most people in all parts of Vietnam wanted to be free of all foreign influence.
-On April 30, 1955, General Ngo Dinh Diem gave a coup with the support of the CIA, declared the Republic of Vietnam and imposed a dictatorship based on three people: himself, his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu and his brother's wife.
The limited identity of South Vietnam as a country and the enormous corruption existing in the government caused the Ngo Dinh Diem dictatorship to become unpopular.
-The Vietnamese people wanted to be independent, free of all influence. They had already shown it on several occasions, facing Japanese and French previously. Therefore, the American presence in its territory was not welcome at all.
