Kingdom of Laos (1946-1975)
The Kingdom of Laos was formed in 1946. This was the first time that a Lao monarch has ruled over Laos as a whole state until the Communist takeover in 1975, which then resulted in the overthrowing of the popular monarchy and ending a 600 year old monarchy.

Famous quotes containing the word kingdom:
“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
