| - The United Kingdom of Lan Xang (Lao: ສະຫະປະຊາຊະອານາຈັກຂອງລ້ານຊ້າງ; Sahapasa Saoanachak Khong Lansang), commonly known as the Lao Kingdom, UKL, Lao or less commonly Laos is an empire in southeast Asia, bordered by British Burma, South Burma and China to the northwest, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, and Thailand to the west. The population was estimated at about 30,000,000 in 2013. The Lao Kingdom traces its history to the kingdom of Lan Xang, which existed from the 14th to the 18th century when it split into three separate kingdoms. In 1893, it became a French protectorate, with the three kingdoms, Luang Phrabang, Vientiane and Champasak, uniting to form what is now known as Lao. It briefly gained independence in 1945 after Japanese occupation, but returned to French rule until it was granted autonomy in 1947 due to international pressure. Laos became independent in 1951, with a constitutional monarchy under Sisavang Vong. Shortly after independence, a civil war between monarchists and the communist Pathet Lao came to be. After roughly six years of jungle warfare the monarchy, led by teenaged Aelanu I, the Pathet Lao were crushed and exiled to Vietnam. A multiparty constitutional monarchy was established and the Yathotu dynasty was established.
