Nguyễn Cao Kỳ's Attempt to Capture Đà Nẵng

April 5th, 1966 58 years ago

Nguyễn Cao Kỳ, the Prime Minister of South Vietnam, initiated a campaign to capture the city of Đà Nẵng amid rising tensions with the Buddhist community. This occurred during a time of significant unrest due to government repression of Buddhist protests. Though Kỳ aimed to assert control and quell disturbances, he ultimately decided against following through with the military operation, recognizing the potential consequences and backlash from the public and Buddhist leadership.
