Refers to the policies and leadership of Ngo Dinh Diem, the first President of South Vietnam, whose authoritarian regime was marked by nepotism, corruption, and a strong anti-communist stance leading to widespread opposition and his eventual assassination in 1963.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The 1956 elections, had they been held as scheduled in Vietnam, were widely expected to result in a victory for Ho Chi Minh and the communists, not Ngo Dinh Diem's anticommunists, due to Ho Chi Minh's widespread popularity in both North and South Vietnam at the time.
