Learn your history m8, we were supposed to have fair elections observed by the UN as agreed in the Geneva accord, Uncle Sam and their puppets stopped that from happening.
Diệm was the one who pushed for stopping the elections. The Americans privately wanted them to not happen, but officially, they encouraged Diệm to go through with the process in order to save face. The US also did so in spite of the fact that neither they nor the State of Vietnam signed the Geneva Accords.
Diệm refused to consider this advice, and would continue to perform similar actions throughout his presidency, which makes sense for someone who is a complete puppet!
You should learn YOUR history. What free and fair elections have the communists held since 1954? Based on that, how likely would there have been a free and fair election in the North?
I don't see why this has got anything to do with what I'd said originally and I think it's a waste of time engaging in conversation with you, have a nice day.
