Dai Viet Quoc Dan Dang
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Đại Việt Quốc Dân Dảng (Vietnamese:Nationalist Party of Greater Vietnam), often known simply as Đại Việt was a nationalist and anti-communist political party and militant organisation that was active in Vietnam in the 20th century. During the era of French colonialism, the Dai Viet engaged in militant attacks in an effort to gain independence. Some Dai Viet members were trained in Chinese military academies in Yunnan run by the Kuomintang, before the fall of China to communism. After the partition of Vietnam in 1954, the Dai Viet were banned in the communist North Vietnam. They continued to be active in South Vietnam as an opposition to President Ngo Dinh Diem, and were often implicated in coup plots against Diem, led by Dai Viet officers in the Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
