 France seized control of most of present-day Laos from Siam in 1893 and gained the rest in 1907. The French administered the kingdom of Louangphrabang indirectly through its king, while French officials directly administered the rest of the country. They did little to develop Laos, which became the sleepy backwater of Indochina.

During World War II (1939-1945) Japan stationed troops in Indochina under an agreement with the French, who maintained their administration throughout most of the war. In the last six months of the war the Japanese seized control of Indochina and interned French officials and troops. The Japanese granted Laos nominal independence in 1945.

After Japan and its allies lost the war, a nationalist movement known as the Lao Issara (Free Laos) formed an independent government in Laos. However, France reoccupied Laos the following year, and the nationalists fled to Thailand. The French unified their Lao territories into a single country with the king of Louangphrabang, Sisavang Vong, as head of state. Under French supervision, the new government adopted a constitution and joined the French Union. In 1949 France granted Laos partial independence and extended an offer of amnesty to the nationalists in exile, most of whom returned to the country. A few dissidents under the leadership of Prince Souphanouvong, however, allied themselves with the forces of the pro-Communist Vietnamese liberation movement known as the Viet Minh, who were still fighting the French. The Lao dissidents called their movement Pathet Lao (Lao State). When Viet Minh forces invaded Laos in 1953, they handed over large areas of the country to the Pathet Lao. France accorded Laos full independence in 1953 as a constitutional monarchy, the Kingdom of Laos. Delegates to the 1954 Geneva Conference, who were negotiating France’s withdrawal from Indochina at the end of the First Indochina War (1946-1954), endorsed the country’s independent status.

I don't know exaclty how France colonized Vietnam and Cambodia... i know a little bit more about Laos

At this time, Laos was "weak" because divided into 3 kingdoms.

All neightbours were very interested about Laos : Thai wanted to enhanced their territory and had begun to invade Laos. French wanted to secure their vietnam frontier, and some chinese thieves regulary attacked lao people from the north.

Both chinese and thai (siamese) people treated lao people very rudly

A french guy called Auguste Pavie went to Laos to explore the land from Vietnam and Cambodia, serving french administration.

This guy was particulary friendly and interested in lao culture, that's why he could gain the "sympathy" (hearts) of many lao people

When he arrived in Luang prabang, the chinese attacked the city at the same time, and August Pavie had the opportunity to save the life of the king of luang prabang

At the same time, Pavie proposed to place the lao kingdom under "french protection", what the king accepted. So France did what they could to make the siamese go back home (diplomatic + military blocus of Bangkok harbour). They also secured the north from chinese attacks. Most of Laos became french, but a part (Issan, oposite mekong) remained Thai...

If french didn't came, Laos would probably be today just one more province of Thailand.
I think that, precisely at this time, accepting french "domination" was the less bad option for Laos.

Anyway, as said above, french were clearly not good "long term" administrators for Laos. French were interested in Laos just to secure their vietnamese border. So they did very little to develop the landlocked country. And all french were probably not as friendly and respectfull as Auguste Pavie. Moreover, french asked vietnamese people to manage the country (work for administrations..), what lao people disliked a lot (i can undersand).... So... after WWII, when France was so weak, it was time for Laos to retreive independancy. ;)

Are you kidding me? After Lao PDR invaded Laos literacy rate has jumped up from 30% to 70%. Before 1975 Lao educational systems were equivalent to most our  neighboring countries starting with Thailand,  Cambodia and etc...after Lao PDR it has been taking the back seat comparison to our neighboring countries to this day.

If it isn't back ward then you certainly don't know the meaning of the word!

Laos and Cambodia used to be the Siam's colonial and when French & Britain came to Asia for Colonialism and ask Siam to give them Laos and Cambodia otherwise they will use the hightech canon to attack Siam at that time they had fighting at Koh Change island in Thailand but Thai Navi fail and the King of Siam had to cut Laos and Cambodia to French. Britain took Malaysia, Indonesia and Burma and using Siam as a buffer state between two nations\

After we are under French Colinial it was so bad as same as we were under Siam. Frech took a lot of things out from Laos and Cambodia

He is right.  No French, No Laos.  Siam took all of Laos already.  You think Laos can be free from Siam without French?

  Well, no teachers have ever taught  you Laos history  in the school. I don't blame you , I am still wonder about the truth  about Laos but I made a research on my own  still need more answer and explanation like you. I have studied about all the countries were involved with Laos such as China , Burma, Vietnam , Cambodia and Siam and also the France which were record ed and related to lead to the other and try to find the fact. For sure that Lang Xang always lost the war to the China and lost Sip song Phana to China , Burma invaded Lang Xang , Vietnam also invaded Lang Xang and caused Lang Xang to divide into 3 kingdoms. Then in 1779 Lang Xang become Thai colony until the French came in1897 and then Laos became the French colony until 1949 that Laos declare independent but it was not recognized until 1954. That is what I knew if I was wrong please correct me.

         In 18 century when the industry revolution in Europe . Then the European countries were hunting for natural resources and colonies . So most of the counties in Africa middle east and south America and Asia countries were colonized by the European countries in Asia except Japan and Thailand which were not colonized by any one. China was not totally lost the whole country only some part to the British and Japan . Vietnam was colonized by the Chinese for hundreds of years so Vietnamese share the same new year with China and some Chinese culture as well. Cambodia was rule by Siam and then Laos lost the independent to Siam in 1779  and Chao Anouvong tried to get the independent back from Thailand and failed in 1828 , So Jao Anouvong family and blood line was destroyed and took to be prisoner of war and a lot of Laotian became slave for many hundred of years until the king of Thailand stop the slavery and then those Laotian becane Siamese citizen and then after the world war ll siam changed the name to Thailand. I just wonder if the French didn't come and take Vientiane , Champasak and Luang Prabang from the Siam what would happen to Laos.
Laos still exist in the world map or Laos would be part of Thailand like Lanna and Esan ( Perhaps Laos would be called Thai Vientiane, Thai Champasak and Thai Luang Prabang if Lao s are still part of Thailand). So something to learn from the history that Laos lost the war to China , Burma , Vietnam and Siam because we were not united (jealousy, selfish , corruption and betray ). Hope that the history would never ever repeat itself again. Today 21 st century there are the new way to hunt for colony by indirectly dominated the government economically and politically and hope Lao people could prevent that from happening to Laos and preserve Lao culture and be proud to be Lao people with wonder culture. There is no way to bring back yesterday but we could protect what we have now. So Lao people would become the minority  and become second class citizen in our own country.

Path to confagration fifty years of diplomacy and warfare.
In 1827, the decisive war against the lao and the systematic displacement of population from the est bank of the Mekong River that followed it furnished Bangkok with an abundant manpower. In 1866 after the fall of the Kingdom of Vientiane, Louis de Carne still observed “ Great rafts ( bearing) herds of slaves” floating down the Mekong River and band of slaves trudging along the dusty trail.
The traffic of slaves permanently depressed the Lao economy and the losses worsened with the passage of time its consequences were catastrophic and virtually irreparable for many generations. The penerial underdevelopment of laos and the physical apprearence of the lao population were the most visible results of the slave trade Jean Renaud observed..
Since a long time previous ( the lao) best elementhad been killed or reduced to slavery, this explained the puny aspect of the indigenes observed our first explorers. This dark past ( invation, enslavement, massive transfers of population... explained somewhat surprising distribution of this population : they had fled the best soil that was most accessible where raids were fatal to seak refuge in the high valleys, the forests where they felt more secure, they had regressed as well from the cultivating stage to the stage of gathering money.

9. THE CAPTURE OF LAO INTERNATIONAL TRADE.
In the year preceding the holocaust of 1827 as Siam achievements gained momentum not only where lao land and people progressively swallowed by Bangkok and its proxies but lao trades as well . The war of 1827 was the culminating of the prolonged commercial struggle that Bangkok ang Khorath authorities, eager to monopolize Laotian goods and trade was waged against Chao Anou and the lao since 1814 DGE. Hall remaked.

THE FINAL SOLUTION 1827 -- -1828.
BUT Anou’s fervent effort to reunite laos and repel Siam were doomed to fail. Fifty years after Taksin quonquer laos , the thai marched into Vientiane once more, this time the lao capital was razed to the grownd , allowing only grass, water and savage beasts to remain...This genocide of an entire people remained a veritable nightmare for its few survivors after Jules Hermand interviewed them in 1880 he called it “ la Grande guerre” Generally Chao phraya Bodinthondesha’s name is associated with the brutality, the subdued people dared call him only by the simple title Chao Kun (Chao is princely rank granted to tributary ruler by Bangkok...

That is what I knew if I was wrong please correct me.

 

 




just one point.. if my memory is right...

Laos became totaly independant in 1954, but France had granted a large autonomy to Laos since 1946... it seams that most of the process occured step by step, gradualy, with no or very little fights/war/blood...

the terrific things came after this, when USA arrived and vietnam war  began (war between communists and capitalists, in fact).

 

The points that have to be clarified for me:

- seems, according to what i have read that, at least at the begining of french "domination", french behaved much much better with lao people than siamese army or chinese thieves... I've read that french CONVINCED lao people to accept french colonialism, and did not FORCE them (i don't think the situation in Vietnam or Cambodia was the same... don't know in fact) but i would appreciate to have more details about this. is it really true, totaly true, partialy true, totaly wrong????

- then, on the "long term", most of people agree to say french were not very good administrators and did very little to develop the country. Some (above) even say they came to take/rob lao resources (anyway, nothing is "free".. french granted some kind of safety and military protection to lao people, but of course, they expected something in return... i think that's normal and we cannot blame french for this). Again, i would appreciate to have more details about this: what french exactly did in laos? both about good things (building cities, roads, train, better education, bring safety) and bad thing (put the administration in the hands of vietnamese, take resources, maybe not always respect local people as they should -i can easily guess and regret that all french in laos were not as respectfull as Auguste Pavie... but all french established in laos did certainly not behave as thieves too-)

 

As my "forum name" suggest, i'm very interested in the common history between France and Laos, but it's very difficult to get complete and precise information... and most important NEUTRAL information, not just colonial or anti-colonial propaganda, about this. Things are rarely all black or all white, but many people sadly enjoy to see things this way.

In the reign of Chao Xaysetha 1566 Laos lost Chiangmay to Birmany Vientiane lost its independence 1569 the great Chao Soulyavongsa took power in 1637 and made Laos the center of culture and boudhism and as Laos is rich in forest products it became the center of commerce of south east asia. After the death of the great king in 1694 Laos was divided in three parts and each part became ennemies and were seized , Vientiane was burned down the genocide began and the three parts of laos became Siameses colonies untill the french came and took the left side of the mekong river as its protectorat or its colony if you prefer...

Bien le bonjour mon cher, on ne se voit pas souvent ce temp-ci !
Yeah ! you're right, but I think it is in a better way, but it still is a kind of slavery. In the former time it was gun talk but now it is money talk, in the former times, nobles don't care much about slavery 'cos they still have their slaves to support them and now the same situation happens : Ministers , Departments's Directors don't care much about it 'cos nothing could affect them but affects the grass root and simple people like farmers, small merchants, low raking officials and civil servants.

At today we still look like Thai colonized as everything import from Thailand and teenager like to copy fashion and new words from Thailand and some like to use Thai words mixed with Laos words

At today, some part of Laos will become one of states of China and Vietnam

 



100 years from now Laos will still be Laos, except the majority of population will
be either Vietor Chin descent. 

       100 years or 1000 years from now Laos still will be called Laos but who will own and rule Laos if the Laotian will not be well educated , still poor  and will never be improved and get a helping hand to have the equal opportunity. So what are the future of Laotian beside farmers cheap labours in the factories and the streets that is the question the Lao people need the answer from the government. If Laotian became the minority and still not well educated , still be in poor and still be living in poverty  and be discriminated by the foreign companies who would not train and hire the Laotian. What good it is to have a new China town , rubber plantation , casinos and 5 stars hotel and golf course which the Chinese and Vietnamese companies don't hire Laotian and bring their own workers to work in Laos. Laotian needs jobs and needs better education. Of course Laos will have more big and tall building and modern shopping mall good roads, bigger and modern airports , bridges ..etc  how 's about educated and train the Lao people  for the future jobs and create more jobs that is the best investment for the country and the nation. No doubt about it 100 years from now Laos still will be Laos but indirectly will be dominated and controlled  politically and economically by foreigner . Tibet is still Tibet , Laos is still Laos but who own Laos and rules Laos. That is the new way to colonize Laos and slave the Laotian in the future. To talk about the truth and it hurt and also to know the truth about Lao history it is also hurt. No body could be able to defeat Laos without the help from our own Lao people. That is right jealousy, selfish , bribe , corruption and betray that is the reason why Laos always have been defeated over again and again.

 Laotian asked to French to take Laos from Siam from be slave of Siam and from mistreated the Laotian people but the French were too busy and respect the British and took only small part of Laos from Siam . If Siamese treated Laotian as brother country not like slavery country Laos would still be part of Thailand today.

I don't know for 2012... i hope this is just a story for children

 

Anyway, you are right.

History of each country in the world is full of conflics, invasions, drama, slavery (in most of the cases, the country is both attacker and victim, depend the year you are looking)... If we want those things to be over, behind us, and not start again, there is only one solution: forgive, accept all borders of all countries as they are now (only accept minor changes, and only with all the support of the concerned population).

Now, it's time for cooperation, exchange (cultural, economic, politic..), and friendship.

Anyway, it's always interesting to study history, try to understand what really happened and why, get off the basic thought where we see everything just black or white. This can be a good guide to avoid doing now the same mistakes we all did in the past. This is also necessary to undersand exactly who we are and where we come from... so be in peace with ourselfs.

To come back to our subject, like it or not, but French bring many things to Laos that still exist today: food (ragout, ban mi/sandwich : made with french baguette but lao style...) architecture (the center of many important cities in laos are typicaly french colonialist style and those buildings are beautifull -if well cared- and good quality)... I don't say Laos should remain french (oh no! certainly not, i'm happy to see that Laos is now free and independant), but for me all those things are full part of the Laos I know and i love today (i love much less, in fact i hate, some other rests of history like american unexploded bombs and mines).

Without the french colonial time, Laos would be very different from what it is now... better or worse, no one can know... We cannot be sure about what Laos would have become without french... but we can try to understand exacly what the french bring to Laos : both the good things and the bad things. This is just a way to better know and understand what is the Laos we know today. For me, this common past between our 2 countries is very interesting, because it create a real link between our countries. Many lao originated people live in France and love the 2 countries, many people in Laos speak french, more and more french people go to live and invest in Laos... that's just great and wonderfull friendship, just take it and enjoy it.

 

Just one last reply about what was writen above in another comment :

the French were too busy and respect the British and took only small part of Laos from Siam

I don't totaly agree: French leaved a large part of Laos to Siam, but anyway, they didn't took "only a small part"... they took most of Laos BUT Issan (isan is big but not so much, right?).

Well, no teachers have ever taught  you Laos history  in the school. I don't blame you , I am still wonder about the truth  about Laos but I made a research on my own  still need more answer and explanation like you. I have studied about all the countries were involved with Laos such as China , Burma, Vietnam , Cambodia and Siam and also the France which were record ed and related to lead to the other and try to find the fact. For sure that Lang Xang always lost the war to the China and lost Sip song Phana to China , Burma invaded Lang Xang , Vietnam also invaded Lang Xang and caused Lang Xang to divide into 3 kingdoms. Then in 1779 Lang Xang become Thai colony until the French came in1897 and then Laos became the French colony until 1949 that Laos declare independent but it was not recognized until 1954. That is what I knew if I was wrong please correct me.

 

 




just one point.. if my memory is right...

Laos became totaly independant in 1954, but France had granted a large autonomy to Laos since 1946... it seams that most of the process occured step by step, gradualy, with no or very little fights/war/blood...

the terrific things came after this, when USA arrived and vietnam war  began (war between communists and capitalists, in fact).

 

The points that have to be clarified for me:

- seems, according to what i have read that, at least at the begining of french "domination", french behaved much much better with lao people than siamese army or chinese thieves... I've read that french CONVINCED lao people to accept french colonialism, and did not FORCE them (i don't think the situation in Vietnam or Cambodia was the same... don't know in fact) but i would appreciate to have more details about this. is it really true, totaly true, partialy true, totaly wrong????

- then, on the "long term", most of people agree to say french were not very good administrators and did very little to develop the country. Some (above) even say they came to take/rob lao resources (anyway, nothing is "free".. french granted some kind of safety and military protection to lao people, but of course, they expected something in return... i think that's normal and we cannot blame french for this). Again, i would appreciate to have more details about this: what french exactly did in laos? both about good things (building cities, roads, train, better education, bring safety) and bad thing (put the administration in the hands of vietnamese, take resources, maybe not always respect local people as they should -i can easily guess and regret that all french in laos were not as respectfull as Auguste Pavie... but all french established in laos did certainly not behave as thieves too-)

 

As my "forum name" suggest, i'm very interested in the common history between France and Laos, but it's very difficult to get complete and precise information... and most important NEUTRAL information, not just colonial or anti-colonial propaganda, about this. Things are rarely all black or all white, but many people sadly enjoy to see things this way.

American have always been helping here & there throughout history,but when thing didn't turn out right, they'll get all the blame for it?
Now I see what it's like from their side of point of view as I grew up in this country.
It seems like what ever the Americans did is ever enough for the world that have so much expectation from them is either " DAMN IF THEY DO & DAMN IF THEY DON'T ".

Do you have any other stupid comment like this, suggesting that i wrote things I didn't wrote (French "the best"... moreover, what does that mean?), and comparing situations that are so different? Do you know how many million of people germans killed (even children, women..) during WWII, just because they hate them. Do you know how much investment Germany did secretly before the war to prepare the invasion of many peacefull countries (Let me remind you that Laos was not in "peace" before french arrived)? Do you know that WWII was 50 years after the colonisation of Laos by France and that many things changed in the world during those 50 years?

if you think french the best why germany kick french ass in ww2 if american don't came to help your peoples what happen to french.

 

 




Do you have any other stupid comment like this, suggesting that i wrote things I didn't wrote (French "the best"... moreover, what does that mean?), and comparing situations that are so different? Do you know how many million of people germans killed (even children, women..) during WWII, just because they hate them. Do you know how much investment Germany did secretly before the war to prepare the invasion of many peacefull countries (Let me remind you that Laos was not in "peace" before french arrived)? Do you know that WWII was 50 years after the colonisation of Laos by France and that many things changed in the world during those 50 years?



You are French so you have your own point of view. But French shouldn't come to take over and control other country like that. Right or Wrong?
