government
The government of the Republic of South Vietnam called itself the "Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam" (Vietnamese: Chính Phủ Cách Mạng Lâm Thời Cộng Hòa Miền Nam Việt Nam ), often abbreviated as PRG (provisonary revolutionary government).
history
The Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (PRG) was a provisional government that opposed the Nguyễn-Văn-Thiệu government of the Republic of Vietnam on June 8, 1969 .
Formed by the National Liberation Front (NLF), the Alliance of National, Democratic and Peacekeeping Forces, and the People's Revolutionary Party , the PRG had a range of nationalist, anti-imperialist, and communist political views, including the Vietnam Labor Party .
After the military and political results of the Tet Offensive in 1968 and the associated military offensives in the south, in which the NLF suffered heavy military losses, the PRG was planned as a political force that countered the international influence of public opinion in support of the national Independence and resistance to the US and the Republic of Vietnam.
The declared aim of the PRG was a formal state structure of the NLF and the strengthening of its demand from "the southern people". In this strategy a negotiated solution for the war and reunification was sought. It was during the first phase of US policy of Vietnamization that US President Richard Nixon and his National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger put into their administration early on, emulating the earlier jaunissement policy of the French during their colonial rule in Indochina.
During the period 1969–1970, most of the PRG cabinet ministries operated near the Cambodian border. These areas were hit by the ARVN and US forces invaded Cambodia in April 1970. The central offices of the PRG functioned like a government in exile. The PRG had diplomatic relations with many so-called “ non-aligned ” countries, such as Algeria , as well as with the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China .
After five years of negotiations, an agreement was reached on January 27, 1973 to end the war and restore peace in Vietnam (in short: Treaty of Paris) and the gradual withdrawal of all US troops.
After the surrender of Saigon on April 30, 1975, the PRG had power in the south and subsequently achieved the political reunification of the entire country.
