The <entity_0> determined the future form of government of the State of Vietnam, the nation that was to become the Republic of Vietnam (widely known as <entity_2>). He scheduled a <entity_3> for <entity_1> and pushed Bảo Đại out of the political scene, hindering the former emperor's attempts to derail the poll. On 6 <entity_1>, Diệm announced the <entity_3> would be held on <entity_1>. Nevertheless, U.S. officials in Vietnam were pleased with the <entity_3>, as they saw it as an opportunity to strengthen <entity_2> and avoid defeat to the communists, as they saw a republican model as being more robust. Having declared his disdain for the 1956 reunification elections, Diệm saw the <entity_3> as the first step in creating a long-term state to rule over <entity_2>. Diệm asserted that <entity_2> would eventually reunify the nation under a democratic administration and liberate their northern compatriots from communist oppression, and championed the <entity_3> as a first step in nurturing democracy.
