Protests in South Vietnam during the presidency of Ngo Dinh Diem were caused because Diem enacted policies that were oppressive to Buddhists.

Explanation:

In a country where polls indicated that Buddhism corresponded to 70 or 90 percent of the population, President Ngo Đinh Diem was a member of the Catholic minority, and implemented policies considered as not impartial in the country. His government was accused of favoring the Catholic population in public and military services, as well as in the allocation of land, trade agreements and tax benefits.

The discontent of the Buddhists broke out when at the beginning of May of 1963 the Buddhist flag was forbidden to hoist in the Vesak, day in which the existence and illumination of Buddha Gautama is celebrated. Days ago, Catholics had been allowed to raise the flag of Vatican City to celebrate the anniversary of Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc, brother of Diem. A large number of people protested against the ban, hoisted Buddhist flags on Vesak and made a march in front of the government's broadcasting station. On May 8, 1963, government forces fired on the crowd, resulting in the death of nine people. Diem's refusal to take responsibility - blaming the Vietcong for the deaths - generated more protests.

the first historical instance of china engaging in internationalism was during the han dynasty.[1] at the start of the han dynasty, the huns in the north were attacking the frontiers of han and trying to obtain riches. emperor wu of han wanted to gain an alliance with a country called dayuezhi so the two countries could join together and fight against the huns.[2] to obtain this alliance, emperor wu sent zhang qian to the west to establish economic and cultural connections.[2] history records that during the han dynasty there were four primary avenues of contact between china and europe. they included the northern land route, the central land route, the southern sea route, and the far southern sea route.[1] the most famous of these routes is the central land route, or the classical silk road, comprising a network of roads stretching from northwest china to the ports of syria and the black sea, which passed through the oasis of the turkestans and northern persia.[1] the silk road was significant for chinese emperors because it provided dominance over central asia by developing resources and provided new markets for the export of china's most valuable resources.[1]
