Haw wars
The Haw wars were raids and campaigns between about 1865 and 1890 by bands of Chinese irregulars, called Haw, who had fled southern China after the Taiping and related rebellions. They ravaged Muang Phuan, Luang Prabang and other Lao and Tai lands. Siam's efforts to suppress them, and the sack of Luang Prabang in 1887, helped France extend its control over Laos.
