Vietnam has controlled Laos, why is it so pro-Vietnamese? The weak Laos really has no choice


crosses Yunnan from southwest China, which is Indochina Peninsula . On the Indochina Peninsula, there are two long strip countries next to each other, they are Vietnam and Laos. From the map, Vietnam has a long and narrow territory and a beautiful coastline; Laos has a much smaller territory, and Laos does not depend on the sea. The relationship between these two countries is like their borders, entanglement spreads and twists and turns.

Laos and Vietnam were brothers and sisters

​​Italian explorer Christopher Columbus lived in Portugal and later immigrated to Spain. On August 3, 1492, with the expectations of the Spanish ruler, he explored the depths of the ocean and finally discovered the new world. Spain became the first country to enter the era of great navigation. The French saw the huge income brought by sailing and were not far behind, and joined the colonial camp.


At this time Thailand and Vietnam are in the fortunes of the country, they are rampant on the peninsula, even China is not in the eyes. There have been many entanglements between countries, but there has never been a truly powerful country, and no one can do anything about it. At the same time, the war also promoted cultural exchanges between these countries. The masses on the peninsula were closely connected, and various customs and habits blended with each other, which had a great impact on the later state relations between Vietnam and Laos.


until the arrival of French colonists directly changed the ecology of the peninsula. After the French came ashore, they first occupied Cambodian . Originally, Cambodia was the northernmost country on the peninsula, and its strength was also the most backward. Later, Vietnam also fell to . Thailand ceded part of Laos to France and merged with the other two places into French Indochina.

Since Vietnam is the largest and strongest among the three regions, the governor's palace of the French colonists is also set up in Vietnam. The national fortune on the peninsula has always been declining. During this period of history, the Vietnamese neither evaded nor denied, and even used its utility to exert Vietnamese influence.


Viet Nam controlled Laos

​​when the force was strong and Ho Chi Minh was born at this time. He comes from a civilian family and his father is a scholar. He has done various jobs at the bottom of society when he grows up, and has gone abroad as a crew member to travel to Western countries. Ho Chi Minh joined the Communist Party in France and was the first Vietnamese Communist Party.

Ho Chi Minh established the Communist Party of Vietnam in Hong Kong. After discovering Hu's identity, the British Hong Kong government wanted to send him back to Vietnam. In this way, Ho Chi Minh has more ills than good luck. After some negotiations, Hong Kong Yingcai allowed Hu to leave Hong Kong without restriction. This was the first time he had escaped from the dead, and he was arrested by the Chinese National Government in Guangxi. Of course, this is a story.

In the 1940s, the influence of the Japanese had reached Southeast Asia, and the battle with France was inevitable. On the borders of Vietnam and Laos, the Japanese drove away the French. Later, the Soviet Union and the United States joined forces to defeat Japan, and the Japanese troops in Southeast Asia also surrendered. A brief sovereignty gap appeared on the Indochina Peninsula. At a mass gathering of 500,000 people at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi , Ho Chi Minh, on behalf of the interim government, announced the "Declaration of Independence", proclaiming the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

After Japan surrendered to the United States and the Soviet Union, Indochina was reclassified as the French sphere of influence. The French government, which had just got rid of German fascism, hurriedly sent troops to Vietnam. After the Second World War, the French army had few victories. In this Asian land, the French army was once again defeated and defeated.

Vietnam's position during the French colonial period was detached. The Viet Cong was also in the leadership role. Both the Cambodian Communist Party and the Lao Communist Party were led by the Viet Cong. The war between Vietnam and France was actually a decisive battle, and France gave up all Indochina territory after losing. When the victorious spring breeze blew across the Indo-branch, Laos, the weakest, became the de facto vassal state of Vietnam.


Vietnam has won consecutive victories and invested in reforms.

​​Vietnam has made the first anti-French work, but Vietnam is also not peaceful. The Viet Cong had weak control over South Vietnam. On the eve of the Vietnam War, the United States established the Republic of Vietnam in South Vietnam. The red camp was vigorous at this time. The United States, which supported South Vietnam and seized the colonial power of Laos and Cambodia, was soon dragged into the quagmire of war and couldn't extricate itself.

Viet Cong was played in the Vietnam War, and later he often called himself "the third military power." z7After the war, Vietnam unified north and south. After many twists and turns, Indochina has long ceased to exist, but Vietnam’s hard work has not only brought about peace, but also actual control of Laos.

In addition to relying on Vietnam for its military, Laos is also inseparable from Vietnam economically. Laos became a vassal of Vietnam from 1979 to 1990, and Vietnam's power reached its peak.

In 1988, the Soviet Union's economy deteriorated and no more economic aid was provided to Vietnam. Vietnam has lost an important source of economic resources. Prior to this, they had been at war with China and were unable to maintain a military presence. However, Laos' economy and government cannot break free from Vietnam's embrace. The turning point occurred in Vietnam's innovation and opening up . China has been assisting the Indochina Peninsula economically, but the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Although Laos has China's help, it cannot turn a blind eye to Vietnam. Vietnam's reform and opening up will inevitably bring great opportunities for the development of Laos.

Vietnam was once a powerful country on the Indo-China Peninsula. It has had humiliation and glory in the wave of world integration. After the independence of , they saw the development of Thailand and China, and finally put forward their own reform and opening policy, and the dominance of Indochina became a thing of the past. Laos finally breathed a sigh of relief.
