The Kingdom of Laos was the modern Lao monarchy that emerged from the former French protectorate of Laos and became fully independent in 1953. Centered around the royal traditions of Luang Prabang and drawing upon centuries of Lao political and cultural heritage, the Kingdom developed as a constitutional monarchy under King Sisavang Vong and, later, King Savang Vatthana. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Laos sought to maintain its sovereignty and neutrality amid growing tensions in Southeast Asia and the wider Cold War. Despite efforts to preserve political neutrality, the country became increasingly entangled in regional conflict, contributing to decades of political instability, civil war, and foreign intervention.
