Ngo Dinh Diem was a very poor leader who showed favoritism to Catholics, much to the chagrin of the country's large Buddhist population. He favored wealthy citizens and had no problem championing their causes at the expense of the peasants. His military was accused of using torture and violence against civilians. He also blatantly practiced nepotism, putting numerous family members in positions of importance.
