3h 17min, may 28, 1963 y - Buddhist Crisis

Description:

Period of political and religious tension in South Vietnam between May and November 1963, characterized by a series of repressive acts by the South Vietnamese government and a campaign of civil resistance, led mainly by Buddhist monks.
Diem (leader of the South) favoured Catholics and not the Buddhists, which led to their persecution.
