Abstract
The United States is confident of its abilities to rebuild South Vietnam given its track record after World War II. Ngo Dinh Diem is hand picked as leader of the south. Elections to reunify the country do not take place in 1956. Members of the Communist Party in South convince Northern members that the only way to liberate country is through violence. Thus the National Liberation Front is born, what we call the Viet Cong. There are only 1,000 advisors in Vietnam when Kennedy takes office; that number rises to 16,000 by the time of his assassination.
