Claim: O'Tangav is a territory of Laos (O'Tangav, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2020-01-17): By 700 BCE, people in what is now Laos were manufacturing iron tools and had cultural and trade contacts with the Chinese and Indians. In the fourth to eighth centuries CE, people on the banks of the Mekong River organized themselves into Muang, walled cities or petty kingdoms. The Muang were ruled by leaders who paid tribute to more powerful states around them. Populations included the Mon people of the Dvaravati kingdom and proto-Khmer peoples, as well as forebears of the "mountain tribes." During this period, animism and Hinduism slowly mixed or gave way to Theravada Buddhism. The 1200s CE saw the arrival of ethnic Tai people, who developed small tribal states centered on semi-divine kings. In 1354, the kingdom of Lan Xang united the area that is now Laos, ruling until 1707, when the kingdom split into three. The successor states were Luang Prabang, Vientiane, and Champasak, all of which were tributaries of Siam. Vientiane also paid tribute to Vietnam. In 1763, the Burmese invaded Laos, also conquering Ayutthaya (in Siam). A Siamese army under Taksin routed the Burmese in 1778, placing what is now Laos under more direct Siamese control.

Evidence (2020-10-10): The Laos Government carried out resettlement programs between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s to relocate ethnic minority groups from the rural northern highlands to development areas in the lowlands ostensibly to alleviate poverty, make basic services more accessible, eliminate slash-and-burn agriculture and opium production, integrate ethnic minorities, and control rebel groups (including Hmong insurgents). For many, however, resettlement has exacerbated poverty, led to the loss of livelihoods, and increased food insecurity and mortality rates. As the resettlement programs started to wane in the second half of the 1990s, migration from the northern highlands to urban centers – chiefly the capital Vientiane – to pursue better jobs in the growing manufacturing and service sectors became the main type of relocation. Migration of villagers from the south seeking work in neighboring Thailand also increased. Thailand is the main international migration destination for Laotians because of the greater availability of jobs and higher pay than at home; nearly a million Laotian migrants were estimated to live in Thailand as of 2015.

Claim: O'Tangav is a territory of Laos (O'Tangav, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-19): Laos (ເມືອງລາວ mư̄ang lāo or ປະເທດລາວ pa thēt lāo) is the only landlocked nation in Southeast Asia. Formerly a French colony, it is one of the few remaining communist states in the world, espousing Marxism–Leninism as its main political ideology. [...] The area east of the Mekong, however, was soon wrenched back from Siam by the French in 1893, who wanted a buffer state to protect Vietnam. The three Laotian states were reunified as a single territory in 1907. In contrast to Vietnam, Laos remained a backwater of French Indochina and did not see much investment and Western influence with the exception of infrastructure projects mostly concentrated in Vientiane, schools in urban centers, and cuisine (especially baguettes and café culture). It was briefly occupied by Japan in 1945, and was then brought into a more or less continual three-decade-long conflict that first spilled over from North Vietnam when France moved in to reassert its colonial rule. After Laos was granted full independence in 1953, the war continued between a variety of factions, with the Communist and North Vietnam-allied Pathet Lao struggling to overthrow the French-aligned monarchy. During the Vietnam War (1964-1973), this alliance led the United States to dump 1.9 million tons of bombs on Laos, mostly in the northeast stronghold of the Pathet Lao: as a comparison 2.2 million tonnes were dropped on Europe by all sides during World War II.

[...] Territorial disputes with Laos became a hot issue after Lao troops allegedly trespassed into the O’Alay and O’Tangav areas in Stung Treng province’s Siem Pang district, causing a standoff between the two countries. In September last year, both Hun Sen and Thongloun agreed to designate the O’Tangav area as a no man’s land and increase joint patrols of Cambodian and Lao troops there, following an August 2017 standoff.
Claim: O'Tangav is a territory of Laos (O'Tangav, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-04): Laos traces its historic and cultural identity to Lan Xang, which existed from the 13th century to the 18th century as one of the largest kingdoms in Southeast Asia.[13] Because of its central geographical location in Southeast Asia, the kingdom became a hub for overland trade and became wealthy economically and culturally.[13] After a period of internal conflict, Lan Xang broke into the Kingdom of Luang Phrabang, the Kingdom of Vientiane and the Kingdom of Champasak. In 1893, the three kingdoms were united under a French protectorate. [...] [edit]In the late 19th century, Luang Prabang was ransacked by the Chinese Black Flag Army.[39] France rescued King Oun Kham and added Luang Phrabang to the protectorate of French Indochina. Shortly after, the Kingdom of Champasak and the territory of Vientiane were added to the protectorate. King Sisavangvong of Luang Phrabang became ruler of a unified Laos, and Vientiane once again became the capital.[40] Laos never held any importance for France[41] other than as a buffer state between Thailand and the more economically important Annam and Tonkin.

It covers approximately 236,800 square kilometers in the center of the Southeast Asian peninsula and it is surrounded by Myanmar (Burma), Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Thailand, and Vietnam. [...] The topography of Laos is largely mountainous, with the Annamite Range in the northeast and east and the Luang Prabang Range in the northwest, among other ranges typically characterized by steep terrain.[2] Elevations are typically above 500 metres with narrow river valleys and low agricultural potential.[2] This mountainous landscape extends across most of the north of the country, except for the plain of Vientiane and the Plain of Jars in the Xiangkhoang Plateau.[2] [...] - ^ "Klimatafel von Vientiane (Viangchan) / Laos" (PDF).

Claim: O'Tangav is a territory of Laos (O'Tangav, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-08): Laos, landlocked country of northeast-central mainland Southeast Asia. It consists of an irregularly round portion in the north that narrows into a peninsula-like region stretching to the southeast. Overall, the country extends about 650 miles (1,050 km) from northwest to southeast. The capital is Vientiane (Lao: Viangchan), located on the Mekong River in the northern portion of the country. [...] The general slope of the land in Laos is downhill from east to west, and all the major rivers—the Tha, Beng, Ou, Ngum, Kading, Bangfai, Banghiang, and Kong—are tributaries of the Mekong (Mènam Khong). The Mekong flows generally southeast and south along and through western Laos and forms its boundary with Myanmar and most of the border with Thailand. The course of the river itself is severely constricted by gorges in northern Laos, but, by the time it reaches Vientiane, its valley broadens and exposes wide areas to flooding when the river breaches its banks, as it did most notably in August 1966. A few rivers in eastern Laos flow eastward through gaps in the Annamese Cordillera to reach the Gulf of Tonkin; the most important of these is the Ma River, which rises in the northeast, just inside the Vietnam border.

Evidence (2024-10-03): Both France and Siam agreed to do a territorial exchange based on the Franco-Siamese treaty of 1907. From this, the French gained the provinces of Battambang and Siem Reap, originally Cambodian territory until the latter part of the 18th century. The acquirement of these provinces would be the last phase of French territorial expansion in Indochina as Siam would later co-operate with the British in the region, who feared uncontrolled French expansion and control of Siam would upset the balance of powers in Indochina.[5] [...] External links [edit]- Son Ngoc Thanh - Cambodian Genealogy Archived 25 April 2018 at the Wayback Machine - French protectorate of Cambodia - Former countries in Cambodian history - Former colonies in Asia - Former French colonies - Former countries in Southeast Asia - States and territories established in 1863 - States and territories disestablished in 1953 - 1863 establishments in Cambodia - 1953 disestablishments in Cambodia - 1863 establishments in France - 1953 disestablishments in France - 1945 establishments in Cambodia - 1945 disestablishments in Cambodia - 1945 establishments in France - 1945 disestablishments in France - Cambodia–France relations - 19th century in Cambodia - 20th century in Cambodia - Former protectorates - Former polities of the Indochina Wars - Axis powers
