Phase 2:

-French Indochina is under French control. Three different factions from the colony are campagning for independence after Ho Chi Minh's self-declaration of independance in North Vietnam.

-Lao Issara is one such nationalist faction. They are trying to fight for independence against the French and established their own government to avoid the restoration of colonial control.

-Pro-independence Lao activists are supplied with aid from its allies to combat the return of French and established defence forces. However problems ensued, as the Lao military grew weak and economy is in shambles with bad management. This caused the return of French colonialism in the country, and after that the Lao Issara established a government in-exile based in Bangkok.

-Politically divided dispute ensued inside Lao Issara. In the meantime, some members of the Lao Issara who are selected by Ho Chi Minh's Communist Party and are closely allied with Viet Minh founded a political party dubbed the "Pathet Lao".

-Elsewhere, remaining anticommunist Lao Issara members asked China (nationalist government known as Kuomintang), Cambodia, South Korea and South Vietnam (then known as provisional State of Vietnam) for help by supplying needed material in order for its government to stay stable and eventually launch a successful rebellion against France and Viet Minh.

-Kingdom of Laos is granted autonomy by the French Union, but not without obstacles that ensued between the Lao nationalists and French colonialists.
