Đồng Khởi was a movement led by members of the Việt Minh in Southern Vietnam who urged people to revolt against the United States and the Republic Of Vietnam, first of all in large rural areas in southern Vietnam and on Highlands of South Central Coastal Vietnam. This movement took place from the end of 1959, culminating in 1960, rapidly spreading across the South, dissolving the rural government structure of the Government of the Republic of Vietnam under President Ngo Dinh Diem, leading to a significant part of rural Southern Vietnam gained control by the communists, leading to the founding of the Southern Vietnam National Liberation Front.
