Founding of Cao Đài and the Holy See at Tây Ninh

Cao Đài was proclaimed in 1926 in French Cochinchina by Vietnamese officials who held séances, and it blended Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Christianity under a single God, with saints including Victor Hugo and Sun Yat-sen. Within years it counted hundreds of thousands of followers and later fielded its own army. Its Holy See at Tây Ninh still holds daily ceremonies.
