President Kennedy withdrew support for South Vietnamese leader Ngo Dinh Diem in 1963 due to his increasingly unpopular and repressive regime, which failed to effectively combat the communist insurgency and alienated many South Vietnamese citizens, particularly through his persecution of Buddhists. The U.S. government recognized that continued support for Diem could undermine American interests in the region. In reaction, South Vietnamese military leaders, encouraged by the U.S. stance, staged a coup in November 1963, which resulted in Diem's assassination and further destabilized the country.

Many South Vietnamese joined the Viet Cong due to a combination of factors, including discontent with the South Vietnamese government, which was often seen as corrupt and ineffective.

Additionally, the appeal of nationalism and the desire to reunite Vietnam under a communist regime motivated some to align with the Viet Cong, particularly in rural areas where they felt marginalized. Lastly, fear and coercion also played a role, as many felt pressured to support the Viet Cong to avoid reprisals from both them and the South Vietnamese government.
