Resignation of South Viet Nam civilian government
Mounting pressure and an internal feud led to the four month old civilian government stepping down and returning power to the generals. Premier Phan Huy Quat and Chief of State Phan Khac Sun agreed to caretaker roles as the charter and legislative council were eliminated. Maj Gen Nguyen Van Thieu acted as military spokesman and Brig Gen Nguyen Cao Ky was seen as influential as the form of the new government remained unclear. Catholic protests and street policing shaped the crisis amid a state of emergency.
