[00:00:00]The Thai army ruled over much of Laos and forced heavy taxes while sending thousands of Lao families to distant Thai provinces for labor.

[00:00:07]>> [music] >> The citizens of Vientiane lived in fear, facing constant demands from Thai officials and witnessing their neighbors taken away to distant provinces. [music] King Anouvong of Laos could no longer accept Thai control over his people, >> [music] >> so he secretly planned a rebellion.

[00:00:24]He rebuilt temples and fortified walls while training soldiers and preparing villagers to fight, >> [music] >> ensuring the Lao culture remained strong and alive.

[00:00:34]By January 1827, King Anouvong led 14,000 soldiers and villagers >> [music] >> across the Khorat Plateau to rally Lao communities under his banner.

[00:00:45]His mission was to reclaim towns, >> [music] >> gather supplies, and persuade neighboring Lao kingdoms to resist Thai domination over their lands.

[00:00:55]Despite his [music] bravery, neighboring kingdoms such as Luang Prabang and Lan Na remained neutral, [music] leaving Vientiane isolated and extremely vulnerable to Thai forces.

[00:01:06]>> [music] >> The Thai armies, larger and better equipped, attacked decisively and recaptured [music] towns, forcing Anouvong's poorly equipped soldiers into battle.

[00:01:17]After fierce fighting at Nong Bua Lamphu and Khao San Pass, Vientiane fell and the city's walls were later burned to the ground.

[00:01:26]After Anouvong [music] was defeated, Thailand forced the Lao people to move into Thai territory as laborers, [music] imposed administrative control, and forced a core Thai identity that [music] weakened Lao cultural traditions.
