Vietnamese Government After the War
Between the fall of Saigon in April 1975 and the formal reunification of Vietnam in July 1976, the South was ruled by the Provisional Revolutionary Government. The Communist Party did not trust the educated classes in the south and sent large numbers of Northern cadres to oversee the transition. Southerners who had supported the North at great risk to their own lives and worked against the Thieu government were bitter over being left out. To make matters worse the party decided on a rapid transition to socialism in the South , that totally crippled the economy. [ Source: Lonely Planet =]
After the war Vietnam was ruled Prime Minister Vo Van Kiet, Communist Party chief Do Moui and General Vo Nguyen Giap. But Giap—architect of the communist government's military victories over France and the United States—was dropped from the party leadership because of his opposition to the 1978 invasion of Cambodia and the subsequent border war with China. Ho Chi Minh had died in 1969. The main leaders through the 1960s, 1970s, 80s and 90s were Le Duan and Pham Van Dong.
