- W2279574216 abstract "The central highlands of Vietnam were of vitalstrategic importance during the Second Indochina War (1955-1975);the collapse of South Vietnamese forces in this region in March1975 led to the fall of Saigon just one month later. Despite thisarea’s importance, most central highlands historiography addresseslarge military campaigns, such as the 1972 Nguyen Hue “EasterOffensive” and the 1975 Ho Chi Minh Offensive. Micro-histories areof great value in examining the implementation of nationalprograms, yet all province case studies examine events in the moreheavily populated and ethnically homogeneous Saigon and MekongDelta regions of the Republic of Vietnam (RVN). This thesisexamines Lam Dong province, at the southern end of the Vietnamesecentral highlands. Focusing on the territorial forces initiativeand RVN policy toward ethnic minority Montagnards in thehighlands—two vital yet under-studied topics in Vietnam Warhistoriography—this study demonstrates the operational success ofthe former and the strategic failure of the latter. The thesis isorganized chronologically and concentrates on the final six yearsof the war, when South Vietnamese officials were increasinglypromulgating and executing policy. The first part of the studydetails background information and outlines the war through 1967,when the National Liberation Front (NLF) held the advantage. Themiddle section scrutinizes the late 1960s and early 1970s anddescribes the factors that led to increased province security. Thefinal section analyzes the final two years of the war following thedeparture of U.S. troops. In this period, South Vietnamese forcesheld the advantage against a weakened NLF, yet ordinary citizens’discontent reached a climax. In-depth study of both province- andnational-level documents from this period demonstrates that localofficials, both American and Vietnamese, often attempted to addresschallenges but were hindered by the centralized nature of theSaigon bureaucracy. The inability and unwillingness of the RVN toaddress adequately issues such as highlands refugee policy led tothe gradual dissatisfaction of many Montagnards in the highlands.This study elucidates RVN initiatives such as the territorialforce, Main Living Area, and Return to Villageprograms—seldom-mentioned yet key facets of the Saigon government’sattempt to mollify ethnic tensions and counter the threat posed bythe NLF." @default.
