Chính Phủ Lâm Thời VNCH - Provisional Government of Vietnam

1963-965 Khoảng thời gian vô chính phủ tại miền Nam Việt-Nam.

Sau khi Tổng thống Ngô Đình Diệm bị lật đổ cả miền Nam đã lâm vào tình trạng vô chính phủ vì không còn ai có đủ khả năng kinh ban tế thế như cố Tổng Thống Ngô Đình Diệm để lảnh đạo một quốc gia trong tình trạng kinh tế nghèo nàn và đang trong tình trạng phải đối đầu với khối cộng sản thế giới bao gồm cả Nga lẩn Tàu.

Đây là điều mà chính phủ Hoa Kỳ muốn miền Nam Việt-Nam phải bị động lọt vào thế không lối thoát để có thể đổ quân vào Đà Nẵng ngày 8 tháng Ba  năm 1965 (March 8 1965) mà không gặp một sự chống đối nào từ phía miền Nam vì gạo đã thành cơm.

Lesson in Vietnam from Kissinger to Nixon:… “when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war”, we would not help them fight it.”

(We also had trouble with excesses here: when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war,” we would not help them fight it. Ironically, we prepared the South Vietnamese for main force warfare after 1954 (anticipating another Korean-type attack), and they faced a political war; they had prepared themselves for political warfare after 1973 only to be faced with a main force invasion 20 years after it had been expected.)

strategic hamlets, a South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the countryside. The government relocated farmers into fortified hamlets to provide defense, economic aid, and political assistance to residents. The hope was that protection from Viet Cong raids and taxation would bind the rural populace to the government and gain their loyalty. The program started in 1962, but was fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly failed.
