Shooting broke out in 1984 over possession of three villages. Another cause of tension between the two Southeast Asian neighbors was the ongoing Hmong Rebellion in Laos. The rebels used bases in Thailand and often crossed the border to attack the Communist Laotian government.

In the future, content will be added to this page. If you encounter any bad links, please email . Thanks! The conflict which most Americans know as The Vietnam War, also included civil wars in the neighboring nations of Laos and Cambodia. In both of these Southeast Asian countries, Communist forces overthrew the governments after long and bloody warfare. In Laos, an ethnic group known as the Hmong continued to fight against the forces of the new Communist government and its allies from Vietnam. This little-known war continues to this day. During America's long and painful time in Vietnam, the U.S. government recruited many Hmong into a secret army trained and armed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Following the fall of Saigon and America's desire to forget about our unsuccessful war in Indochina, U.S. aid to the Hmong ended, and they were left to deal with the Communist Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese on their own. They have resisted ever since. Below are some links to other sites with information on this war. More content will be added to this page in the future.

Below is a short 'synopsis interpretation' of the Thai historical events listed in this Thai History Timeline Chart Lore of Thai Kings and Burmese Princes settling national disputes through Elephant Jousting in The Warriors and Builders are both well represented in Thai history. Archeology ( not the usual well embellished politically motivated folk tale ) is the true historical record. "What is history but a fable agreed upon?" ~ Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) Thailand has a well preserved archeological record dating back to pre iron age nomadic hunter and gatherers. There is archeological record to document that the worlds first bronze age culture, as well as the worlds first rice farmer, was in Issan of eastern Thailand. Pottery shards bearing the imprint of both grains and husks of rice were discovered at Non Nok Tha near Korat dating from at least 4000 B.C. The world's first domestic cultivation of rice was in Issan near today's Korat.

Its national history stretches back six centuries to the legendary kingdom of Lane Xang, once a rival to the powerful empires of mainland Southeast Asia The beginnings The earliest known indigenous culture in Laos was an iron-age megalithic people that lived on the Plain of Jars, at the centre of trade routes to China, Vietnam and points south. The early inhabitants of Laos Early influences The cultural roots of the present-day Lao lie in Indian civilization , not Chinese. From the first century AD, Indian traders began introducing Buddhism to Southeast Asia, and between the sixth and ninth centuries upper Laos, along

A New Siam More History of Rice History of Silk About Us Contact Us ... Sitemap by Charles Kimball The original inhabitants of Southeast Asia were a short, hairy, black-skinned race related to the Australian Aborigines, commonly called Negritos. Today they are found only in the most remote areas, still living a stone age lifestyle, but once they roamed the entire region, hunting and practicing slash-and-burn agriculture as far north as the Yangtze River. At this early date the Khorat smiths were doing better work than their Mesopotamian counterparts; by 3000 B.C. they figured out that the strongest bronze alloy is made by mixing 1 part of tin with nine parts of copper. They were probably helped by a geographical advantage: Southeast Asia is the world's richest source of tin. Tin is uncommon in the West, and before the Mesopotamians discovered it, they made bronze by mixing copper and arsenic, with brittle and sometimes hazardous results. At the 1600 B.C. level, archeologists came across another important discovery: iron spearheads, knives and bracelets. Normally the Hittites of ancient Turkey are credited with being the first people to forge iron, but these objects are just as old as anything the Hittites produced. Around the same time, the people went from dry cultivation to the wet-cultivation of rice in flooded fields that is still practiced today; that greatly increased the total food supply. The

For someone like myself, who had his own intense introduction to Laos in the late 60s and looks forward to a return, the book is an insightful refresher and update. It has helped me put my own experience in context and rethink the Laos I once thought I knew. This short history is thoughtful, well-written, and largely devoid of moral judgments. The subtitle "The Land in Between" sums up an unfortunate reality for much of its history Laos has been caught between more powerful neighbors and sometimes their even more powerful patrons. But Evans does not stop with such a facile explanation of the Laos that has emerged. I particularly appreciate his continuing emphasis on the deep and enduring cultural roots of the peoples who inhabit Laos and the interplay among them.

This book is bascially a mid-upper division college text on the development of Modern Laos from the 1800s to the present. A fine book on the recent history of Laos, the author strives to be fair and evenhanded in placing responsibility for the various troubles plaguing the country. However, I would have liked more general background on the country, especially the history that predated European contact. Only the history necessary to explain some modern interactions is present from that period. More maps and figures would have been nice as well. Only four maps and no figures are present, and the author refers to many locations that arent listed explictly on the maps. The type is set rather close as well, making for a bit of a strain in reading. That said, the information was well laid out and seemed very well researched. I learned a great deal about the development of modern Laos. A History of Laos > Customer Review #2:
