The southeast Asian nation of Laos became the Lao People's Democratic Republic in 1975. The government was overthrown in a communist revolution that was aided by the Russians and the Chinese.
Thailand borders the eastern border of Laos and Cambodia. Burma borders the very northern tip of Lao's eastern border.
One major event that happened in Lao's history was when the Chinese tried to invade the area in the 19th century but the French stopped them. The French then took over the country. In 1953, Laos was given independence.
As a result of the Vietnam War, both Laos and Cambodia were destabilized. Their pre-war monarchies were replaced with Communist governments supported by Vietnam and China. In Cambodia, this government was the Khmer Rouge, which was later removed from power in 1979 by the Vietnamese. The Lao People's Republic remains in power to this day.

If the uncle is on your father's side and older than your father than you call your uncle "Loung". P.S.
