No One Talks About South Vietnam's War Crimes (*Warning Mature Audiences Only)

We’ve all heard about American war crimes in Vietnam, but what the South Vietnamese did in their own country is not as well known. From murdering monks to gunning down civilians, the Republic of Vietnam and its army (ARVN) inflicted suffering on innocent people that has been largely forgotten by history. Join us in this video as we uncover the horrific actions of South Vietnam during and preceding the Vietnam War.

Buddhist Crisis Most of us consider the Vietnam War to begin with the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964, but the conflict actually began in 1955. South Vietnam resisted the Communist North and its insurgencies in the South under the leadership of the controversial US-backed President Ngo Dinh Diem. Diem was widely seen as corrupt and autocratic, but his Catholic faith and fierce anti-Communism was enough for the US to throw their support behind him. At least until one specific crisis shocked the world. Already on high alert for dissent and division, the Diem regime engineered its own demise with its brutal response to the Buddhist Crisis in 1963. Vietnam’s Buddhist majority was dissatisfied with Catholic Diem’s discriminatory religious policies. Buddhists were passed over for promotion, excluded from high positions in government, were subject to forced labor demands, and could even be placed in concentration camps for causing public unrest. Meanwhile, the tiny Catholic minority was given special privileges. Diem’s regime armed Catholic priests and villages as a defense against the Viet Cong while leaving the Buddhists undefended. Although the Communists were no friends to the Buddhists either, many Buddhists went on to join the Communist cause in the war simply to escape Diem’s persecution. #history #vietnamwar #southvietnam Music: Epidemic music Sources: Douglas Valentine, The Phoenix Program, (2000) Jennifer Harbury, Truth, Torture, and the American Way: The History and Consequences of US Involvement in Torture, (2005) John Schlight, The United States Air Force in Southeast Asia: The War in South Vietnam The Years of the Offensive 1965–1968, (1999) Merle L.
