On November 11, 1960, a failed coup attempt against President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam was led by Lieutenant Colonel Vuong Van Dong and Colonel Nguyen Chanh Thi of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam |

|
The rebels launched the coup in response to Diems autocratic rule and the negative political influence of his brother Ngo Dinh Nhu and his sister-in-law Madame Ngo Dinh Nhu |

After initially being trapped inside the Independence Palace, Diem stalled the coup by holding negotiations and promising reforms |
