Duong Van Minh
Dương Văn Minh ( listen) (16 February 1916 – 6 August 2001), popularly known as "Big Minh", was a Vietnamese general and politician. He was a senior general in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) during the presidency of Ngô Đình Diệm. In 1963, he became president of the Republic after leading a coup in which Diệm was assassinated. Minh lasted only three months before being toppled by Nguyễn Khánh, but assumed power again in April 1975, two days before surrendering to communist forces.
