1964 coup

[edit]

This article is contradictory with the article about Duong Van Minh. The latter states that the coup was in Jannuary, not in August. 193.171.121.30 17:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not really. There Khanh led a coup against General Minh in January 1964, but a counter-coup against Khanh occurred in September 1964 (Khanh survived that coup). South Vietnam was exceptionally unstable, and coups occurred frequently. Lack of clarity in articles is often more at fault that actual contradiction. - Tim1965 (talk) 00:22, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The 1964 coup was a joint venture by Khanh and General Tran Thien Khiem. Easch had their own motivation. Khanh was angry that he had been moved further from Sai Gon and Khiem was angry that he had not received a government post promised in exchange for his support of the November coup against Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother Nhu.

Also, Khanh had long political disputes with the November coup leaders Tran Van Don and Duong Van Minh. General Tran Van Don was a long-time member of the "Old Dai Viet" political party and one of the party leaders. Duong Van Minh had a brother who was an officer in the Peoples Army of Viet Nam (PAVN) better known as the North Vietnamese Army. Minh was considered a neutralist by Khanh.

Khanh aand Khiem manipulate u.s. ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge to support the overthrow of Don and Minh. Khanh and Khiem had been approached during late August 1963 by CIA officers to lead the coup against Diem and Nhu but they either passed out of fear or because they could not generate support from other generals. that is something that only Khanh and Khiem know.

POV

[edit]

An anonymous user just removed this paragraph (citing POV). I'm just putting it here in case someone wants to do something with it.

General Khanh continues to believe strongly in democracy, and liberty for the people of Vietnam. He campaigns for peace and strongly feels that democracy cannot be developed without economic development which would be the condition for the national defense of Vietnam in the 21st Century.

Well, is it true? Maybe it sould go back in? Jake b 05:14, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-The above statement is true because he spoke about it at the speech at a U.S. University in Delaware.

The general has said he always believed strongly in peace for his country and that he feels that without peace Vietnam cannot be developed. http://www.udel.edu/PR/UpDate/94/31/10.html Bnguyen 05:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Political career

[edit]

This article is contradictory ("bloodless military coup d'etat") with the article about Nguyen Van Nhung. The latter states that "Following a coup against Nhung's leader Minh a few months later in early 1964 by Nguyen Khanh, Nhung was himself executed [...]".

Attempted alliance with North Vietnam

[edit]

I find it odd that there is no mention in this article of Khanh's attempt to make an alliance with North Vietnam against 'foreign aggression' just before the coup detat which overthrew him. He was actively negotiating to hand control of South Vietnam over to the NLF and join in a military campaign against the US and then was conveniently replaced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.202.12 (talk) 03:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article was written by Bnguyen (talk · contribs) who seems like a member of Nguyen Khanh's Government of Free Vietnam, which likes to prattle on about its hardcore anti-communism. So I'm not surprised it's not there. It's a puff piece basically. Nguyen Khanh had quite a reputation for being erratic and playing silly political games.

Orphaned references in Nguyen Khanh

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Nguyen Khanh's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "moyar":

Reference named "encyc":

  • From Ton That Dinh: Tucker, pp. 288–289.
  • From Ngo Dinh Nhu: Tucker, pp. 291–298.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 07:46, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seven paragraph lead section?

[edit]

Is there some reason why this article needs a 7 paragraph lead section? WP:LEAD#Length recommends no more than 4. I'm sure you can probably abridge his life to that length, even if it was extremely complex. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:58, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dates impossible!

[edit]

“In 1945, Khánh finished his secondary studies” which would have been in late spring or June, alas
“The August Revolution had just occurred and Hồ had declared independence from ” thus he joined VN in autumn. Then:
“However, Khánh soon left Hồ's forces after 15 months.” which would be December 1946, but:
“In 1946, he graduated from the French Military Academy Saint-Cyr” which, even without taking into account the 3 week boat trip (officer candidates did not fly in those days) would have left him with a few days of study at the most. --Zenwort 19:55, 11 May 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenwort (talk • contribs)

Potential source

[edit]

The following biography of Lucien Conein is relatively recent and outlines his role in the 1963 South Vietnamese coup:

Perhaps someone more familiar with subject matter can tell where it might fill in the gaps. - Location (talk) 19:07, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
