English: Republic of Vietnam (old orthography : Việt-nam Cộng-hòa) is a former state which governed southern Vietnam from 1955 to 1975.

It received international recognition in 1949 as the State of Vietnam (1949−1955), and later as the Republic of Vietnam (1955−1975). Its capital was Saigon, present day Ho Chi Minh City.
The term South Vietnam became common usage after the 1954 Geneva Conference partitioned Vietnam into communist and non-communist parts.
South Vietnam's origins can be traced to the French colony of Cochinchina, which consisted of the southern third of Vietnam and was a subdivision of French Indochina. After World War II, the Vietminh, led by Ho Chi Minh, proclaimed the establishment of a Communist nation in Hanoi. In 1949, non-communist Vietnamese politicians formed a rival government in Saigon led by former Vietnamese emperor Bảo Đại. Bảo Đại was deposed by Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem in 1955, who proclaimed himself president after a 1955 referendum. After Diem was deposed in a military Coup d'état in 1963, there was a series of short-lived military governments. General Nguyen Van Thieu led the country from 1967 until 1975.
The Vietnam War began in 1959 with an uprising by Viet Cong forces supplied by North Vietnam. Fighting climaxed during the Tet Offensive of 1968, when there were over 1.5 million South Vietnamese soldiers and 500,000 U.S. soldiers in South Vietnam. Despite the Paris Peace Accords treaty of 1973, fighting continued until the North Vietnamese army gained Saigon on 30 April 1975.
