Because the country of Laos has low exposure on television, it is rarely known to people. Even if it is known, it is only an impression and understanding of its name. In order to give you a more intuitive understanding of this country, let me analyze it for you from the inside out.
Laos
Judging from the name alone, the name Laos seems to be too low. It may be because of the Chinese transliteration, so the name of this country is like It’s just a joke; after finishing the superficial analysis of the country, let’s go into such a country in depth.
The full name of this country is "Lao Democratic Republic". In its early years, because its national power was weak but it was located in a strategic location, it was regarded by many powers as a place that could be invaded. and objects. It was invaded by France in 193 and became a colony, and was later liberated. However, after liberation, the country's national power still did not increase. This is why many people call this country , would liken it to a declining "village". In order to get shelter and develop, it joined ASEAN in 1997 to seek greater shelter and development. At the same time, it is also one of the least developed countries in the world. From this, we can see the poverty and weakness of this country.
Although its current national power is very weak, it was at its peak in 1353 AD. It was at that time that the country was known as the most powerful country in Southeast Asia. One of the prosperous and prosperous countries, it was during these years that the country slowly gave birth to the Luang Prabang dynasty, the Vientiane dynasty and the famous Champasak dynasty. But in 1707, as the country's national power weakened, the country was gradually conquered by Siam. This rule lasted until the 19th century, and it was dominated by foreign enemies for a whole century. After a century of domination, the country was occupied by France and Japan in 1893 and 1940. Finally, in 1945, the minds of these people were awakened. They no longer wanted to be "subjugated slaves" or enslaved by these invaders, so they launched a massive independence movement, and on October 12 of that year On the day of independence and success.
In 1946, Sisawang Vong unified Laos. It was this move that made Laos a unified country and a unified dynasty. But the good times did not last long. During this year, France, the former invader, sent troops to intervene in the country. Faced with the advanced weapons and tactics of the French army, the newly formed Ishara government declared failure and disintegrated. After many back and forths, Laos finally adopted a constitution in 1991 and established a democratic country in the true sense.
Although Laos has completed its founding at this time, its heavy industry is still very weak. You must know that if the heavy industry was not good at that time, it meant that the country's economy was not good. Therefore, their economy is still based on sawing wood and rice milling. In addition to these light industries, Laos is also a place frequented by many drug traffickers. This is due to the laxity of some laws in Laos and the territorial issues with other Southeast Asian countries. caused by the region.
In addition to economy and history, the most distinctive thing about Laos is the country’s faith. Because they are relatively close to Thailand, they believe in Buddhism in their daily lives. It is precisely because of this belief that after arriving in Laos, you can see temples everywhere, monks everywhere, and Buddhist believers and pilgrims everywhere.
Except for the first time, Laos is still very backward. This backwardness can be seen not only from their urban planning, but also from their highways and transportation tools. Therefore, many people feel as if they have entered the urban-rural fringe after arriving in Laos.
