The Lao and the Siamese are descendants of the same Ai-Lao race,
but they have different characters and destinies, and they
established their own kingdoms. The invasion of ViengChan by Siam
in 1779 left Lao LanXang in danger of total collapse. The
twelve-year-old prince Chao Anouvong, the feudal ruling class, the
court nobility and many of the people were forcefully taken to
Siam, resulting in the total political extinction of a society that
had governed LanXang for over 1,000 years. Chao Anouvong grew up in
Bangkok and was regarded by the Siamese as a mere provincial ruler.
He returned to ViengChan at the age of twenty-eight and became
king, with nothing to support him but his own talents and his
ambition to restore LanXang.
