Ascended the throne, at the Royal Palace, Luang Prabang, 15th April 1904. Crowned there, 4th March 1905. Declared the independence of Laos, under Japanese auspices, 8th April 1945. Proclaimed King of Laos, 15th September 1945. Rescinded his declaration of independence, 10th October 1945. " Deposed " by the Provisional National Assembly at Vientiane, for collaborating with the French, 20th October 1945. Reinstated retrospectively, 23rd April 1946. Signed the Franco-Lao Convention, which recognised Laos as an independent Kingdom within the French Union, 19th July 1949. Laos became fully independent of France, 22nd October 1953. http://www.4dw.net/royalark/Laos/laos2.htm Events in 1945: A Japanese representative suggested that the king proclaim Laos's independence and send someone to discuss the terms of LaotianJapanese cooperation. Sisavang Vong replied that he would stay with his people and that his attitude toward the French would not change. Laos was too small to be independent, but if he was obliged to accept independence he would do so. At the same time, he reluctantly issued a proclamation on April 8 ending the French protectorate. http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-7756.html During World War II, the Japanese occupied French Indochina, including Laos. King Sisavang Vong of Luang Prabang was induced to declare independence from France in 1945, just prior to Japan's surrender. During this period, nationalist sentiment grew. In September 1945, Vientiane and Champassak united with Luang Prabang to form an independent government under the Free Laos (Lao Issara) banner. The movement, however, was short-lived. By early 1946, French troops reoccupied the country and conferred limited autonomy on Laos following elections for a constituent assembly. During the first Indochina war between France and the communist movement in Vietnam, Prince Souphanouvong formed the Pathet Lao (Land of Laos) resistance organization committed to the communist struggle against colonialism. Laos was not granted full sovereignty until the French defeat by the Vietnamese and the subsequent Geneva peace conference in 1954. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2770.htm In Laos, the king, instead of declaring independence, initially called on his people to rise up against theJapanese. But when the Japanese occupied the royal capital and took the crown prince hostage, the king acquiesced and declared Laos's independence in April 1945. http://www.hmongnet.org/publications/hmf-intro.html#sec4 The new rulers of Laos faced considerable problems in setting up an administration. Sako Masanori, the Japanese commander who had occupied Vientiane, records that he had no specific orders from Tokyo on how this was to be effected. Accordingly he improvised, dismissing and detaining all French officials except for the Mayor of Vientiane and the Commissioner of Police, who were delegated to act as intermediaries between the occupying Japanese and the defeated French community. By contrast, Sako made attempts to win over the indigenous population, who were naturally suspicious of Japanese intentions. On April 8, he addressed the assembled people of Vientiane from the steps of the Palace of the Résident Superieur - now the Museum of the Revolution - in the following words: As from now, I take it upon myself to assume the functions of the French Résident Superieur. Japan's purpose is not to occupy Laos. Japanese are your comrades and are sympathetic to your plight. We are at the same time both Buddhists and yellow peoples. Let us cooperate to achieve independence for Laos. http://www.cpamedia.com/articles/20051020_04/ Top 10 Natural Disasters in Lao P Dem Rep sorted by numbers of people killed, total affected and economic damage costs Disaster Date Killed Epidemic 10-Oct-1994 500 Flood 25-Aug-1966 300 Epidemic 15-Mar-1992 143 Epidemic Mar-1987 63 Epidemic Jun-2000 44 Epidemic Feb-1995 34 Flood Aug-1978 31 Flood 15-Aug-1996 30 Wind Storm 1-Aug-1995 26 Wind Storm 10-Jul-1992 22  Disaster Date Total Affected Drought 1977 3,500,000 Wind Storm 1-Aug-1995 1,000,000 Drought Dec-1988 730,000 Flood Aug-1978 459,000 Flood Aug-2001 453,000 Flood Sep-2000 450,000 Flood 15-Aug-1996 420,000 Flood Sep-1995 391,400 Flood Sep-1991 332,000 Wind Storm 10-Jul-1992 268,877  Disaster Date Damage US$ (000's) Wind Storm Jul-1993 302,151 Flood Aug-1992 21,828 Flood 25-Aug-1966 15,300 Wind Storm 10-Jul-1992 3,650 Flood 5-Sep-1968 1,280 Drought 15-Jul-1991 1,000 Flood 17-Aug-1971 200 Wind Storm 1991 150 Flood 15-Aug-1969 - Drought 1977 -  Disaster Date Killed Transport Accident 24-Aug-1998 44 Transport Accident 25-May-1998 40 Transport Accident 25-Jun-2000 18 Transport Accident 20-Oct-2000 10 date type registration operator fat. location pic cat 14-FEB-2002 Y-12 RDPL-34118 Lao Aviation 0 Laos  A1 19-OCT-2000 Y-12 RDPL-34130 Lao Aviation 8 Laos  A1 25-MAY-1998 Yakovlev 40 RDPL-34001 Lao Aviation 26 Laos  A1 13-DEC-1993 Y-12 RDPL-34117 Lao Aviation 18 Laos  A1 22-APR-1990 Antonov 24 RDPL-34008 Lao Aviation 0 Laos A1 24-MAR-1976 Douglas DC-4 XW-PND Royal Air Lao Laos  O1 24-MAR-1976 Douglas DC-4 XW-PNF Royal Air Lao Laos O1 24-MAR-1976 Douglas DC-4 XW-PNI Royal Air Lao Laos O1 24-MAR-1976 Douglas DC-3 XW-TAF Royal Air Lao 0 Laos O1 24-MAR-1976 Douglas DC-3 XW-TDF Royal Air Lao Laos  O1 24-MAR-1976 Douglas DC-3 XW-TDR Royal Air Lao Laos O1 13-MAR-1975 Boeing S.307 XW-TFP Royal Air Lao 0 Laos  A1 16-JAN-1975 Antonov 2  Aeroflot 16 Laos  A1 15-OCT-1974 Curtiss C-46 XW-PBW Royal Air Lao Laos  A1 28-APR-1974 DHC-6 Twin Otter N389EX Air America 0 Laos  A1 07-MAR-1973 Fairchild C-123 524 Air America 4 Laos  A1 09-FEB-1973 Fairchild C-123 374 Air America 3 Laos  C1 21-DEC-1972 Lockheed C-130 56-0490 USAF 14 Laos  C1 23-NOV-1972 DHC-4 Caribou 401 Air America 4 Laos  C1 06-NOV-1972 Fairchild C-123 648 Air America 0 Laos  C1 27-AUG-1972 Fairchild C-123 555 Air America 9 Laos  A1 25-JUL-1972 DHC-6 Twin Otter N5662 Air America 3 Laos  A1 30-MAR-1972 Lockheed C-130 69-6571 USAF 0 Laos  O1 28-MAR-1972 Lockheed C-130 55-0044 USAF 14 Laos  C1 11-FEB-1972 Douglas DC-4 XW-TDE Royal Air Lao 23 Laos  C1 04-FEB-1972 DHC-4 Caribou 393 Air America 1 Laos  A1 27-DEC-1971 Fairchild C-123 293 Air America 4 Laos  C1 24-DEC-1971 Fairchild C-123 613 Air America 0 Laos  A1 21-DEC-1971 Douglas DC-3 XW-TFC Lao Airlines 2 Laos  A1 30-JUN-1971 Douglas DC-3 XW-TDI Lao Airlines Laos  U1 02-JUN-1971 Curtiss C-46 XW-PFL Air America 2 Laos  C1 27-FEB-1971 Boeing S.307 XW-PGR Royal Air Lao Laos  U1 23-JUL-1970 Douglas DC-3 XW-TDO Lao Airlines Laos  A1 23-JUL-1970 Douglas DC-3 XW-TDC Xiengkhouang Air Laos  A1 21-APR-1970 Lockheed C-130 54-1625 USAF 10 Laos  O1 10-APR-1970 Lockheed C-130 56-0510 Air America 6 Laos  A1 23-DEC-1969 Douglas DC-3 XW-TDJ Laos Air 6 Laos  A1 24-NOV-1969 Lockheed C-130 56-0533 USAF 8 Laos  O1 13-DEC-1968 Fairchild C-123 54-0600 USAF 6 Laos  A1 25-NOV-1968 Curtiss C-46 N1386N Air America 26 Laos  A1 23-MAY-1968 Fairchild C-123 655 Air America 0 Laos  A1 22-MAY-1968 Lockheed C-130 56-0477 USAF 9 Laos  O1 24-FEB-1968 Douglas DC-3 XW-TAD Royal Air Lao 37 Laos  A1 07-DEC-1967 Douglas DC-3 XW-PFM Lao Cathay Airlines 10 Laos  A1 13-AUG-1967 Curtiss C-46 N9473Z Continental Air Services 0 Laos  A1 25-JUL-1967 Douglas DC-3 XW-PDL Vehu Akat 16 Laos  A1 25-JUL-1967 Douglas DC-3 B-112 Taiwan Aviation 18 Laos  A1 31-JAN-1967 Fairchild C-123 54-0611 USAF 5 Laos  C1 17-APR-1966 Douglas DC-3 N8744R Continental Air Services 2 Laos  A1 25-JAN-1966 Fairchild C-123 54-0702 USAF 46 Laos  A1 18-NOV-1965 Fairchild C-123 538 Air America 0 Laos  A1 03-OCT-1965 Fairchild C-123 N5003X Air America 1 Laos  A1 05-SEP-1963 Curtiss C-46 B-150 Air America 2 Laos  C1 17-JUL-1963 Curtiss C-46 B-148 Air America 6 Laos  A1 27-NOV-1962 Fairchild C-123 N5004X Air America 2 Laos  C1 31-AUG-1962 Douglas DC-3  ? 5 Laos  A1 04-FEB-1962 Curtiss C-46 B-916 Air America 6 Laos  C1 13-AUG-1961 Curtiss C-46 B-136 Air America 6 Laos  A1 15-DEC-1960 Douglas DC-3 XW-PAD Air Laos Laos  O1 26-NOV-1960 Curtiss C-46 B-130 Air America 2 Laos  A1 15-JUN-1956 Bristol 170 F-OAOU Air Laos Laos  A1 14-MAR-1955 Douglas DC-3 F-BFGN Air Laos 0 Laos  A1 04-DEC-1954 Douglas DC-3 F-BEIA Air Laos 28 Laos  A1 16-AUG-1954 Bristol 170 F-VNAI Air Vietnam 47 Laos  A1 06-MAY-1954 Fairchild C-119 ?
