Laos has been a small country surrounded by powerful enemies since ancient times. Although there was a unified Lancangjiang dynasty in history, its territory expanded to the south of Vietnam and occupied the sea. With the expansion of western colonialism in East Asia and China's smuggling trade in Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became one of the most prosperous dynasties at that time. However, with the invasion of Thailand and Vietnam, Laos gradually declined. Today, the total population of Laos is only 365,438+million, while the population of 27 districts and counties in China exceeds 3 million. It can be said that this area is not even comparable to a county in China. Now Laos is one of the least developed countries in the world.
The underdevelopment of Laos is probably the reason since ancient times. Because there is no sea, there are many mountains, and at the same time, in modern times, civil wars continue, drugs are rampant, and the country is getting poorer and poorer. And Sisavang? Wattana came to power under such circumstances.
King Xisha? Vatana was born in the royal family. At that time, Laos had become a colony of France, so he was sent to France for education at an early age. He studied French first, and then Lao. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese invaders occupied the French colony of Sisavang? Vasana denounced the despicable behavior of the Japanese invaders and the loyal opposition to the Japanese invasion.
After World War II, his father was restored and a brand-new kingdom of Laos was established. 196 1 year, King Caesar. Wasana also established diplomatic relations with China, becoming one of the few diplomatic countries in China at that time. This pro-western regime tasted some dividends in the early stage of its development. However, with the independence of Vietnam and the failure of the Vietnam War in the United States, Laos, a pro-western regime, was somewhat embarrassed under the eyes of Vietnam. So in Sisavang? Shortly after Wattana ascended the throne, the Lao People's Party revolted and a large-scale civil war broke out in Laos.
Although King Caesar? Vasana bought a lot of advanced weapons and equipment with the support of westerners, but the morale of loyal subjects was gone. What about Sisavang? Vathana was also clumsy in military command, so the army of the Lao Kingdom was losing ground. It was not until 1975 that the People's Army captured the king of Xisha alive? King Wattana, in order to overthrow the feudal dynasty.
King Xisha? Vatana's fate is very tragic. Although he was not dissolute and tyrannical during his reign, he was still regarded as a feudal remnant and was criticized, abused and tortured. In just three years, he was tortured to death in a labor camp at the age of 7 1.
