This Rusty Compass video is for travellers who like to combine history with their travels. We explore the places of the 1963 Buddhist Crisis - one of the most important events in America's catastrophic war in Vietnam. Hue and Saigon are the focus of our exploration - including little-known historical gems.
The Buddhist Crisis was the event that pressured the US to massively increase its military force in Vietnam. It ended a long commitment to controversial President Ngo Dinh Diem, the founding president of the anti-Communist state and was followed by years of political instability. It's still an historical event of consequence and fascination.
