Pacification
The Government of Vietnam’s pacification efforts were designed to win the allegiance of the Vietnamese people and to deprive the Viet Cong of local support. The programs aimed to achieve this by liberating the people from VC control, restoring public security, stimulating the rural economy and by increasing the participation of citizens in local government.
