ABSTRACT

After the Qing dynasty and French War, France gradually dissolved the tributary relations between southeast Asian countries and the Qing Dynasty. Before colonizing Laos, France first let it escape from the rule of Siam, and then gradually improved the colonial ruling institutions, and implemented colonial policies such as "division and rule", "Laos and Vietnam", massive plunder of land resources, and excessive taxes, and enslavement education. The colonial rule of France continued the backward and decadent feudal monarchy, which brought profound disasters to the Lao people, and at the same time had a profound influence on the modernization of Laos.
