Ngo Dinh Diem

Ngô Đình Diệm Jean Baptiste (???, approximately pronounced "Ngoh Din Yim"{{Audio|NgoDinhDiem.ogg|listen}}) (January 3, 1901 – November 2, 1963) was the first President of the Republic of Vietnam (1955–63). It is worth noting that according to the namings of Diệm's relatives, the family name for Diệm appears to be Ngô Đình, instead of the conventional Ngô. Ngô Đình Diệm was unmarried; thus his sister-in-law, Madame Nhu, was regarded as the First Lady of South Vietnam.
