Haw wars
1865-1890 quasi-wars involving Chinese military refugee gangs in Indochina / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Haw Wars (Thai: สงครามปราบฮ่อ) were fought against Chinese quasi-military refugee gangs invading parts of Tonkin and the Laos from 1865–1890. Forces invading Lao domains were ill-disciplined and freely demolished Buddhist temples. Not knowing these were remnants of secret societies, the invaders were wrongly called Haw (Lao: ຫໍ້;[1] Thai: ฮ่อ; Chinese: Hao).[2] Forces sent by King Rama V failed to suppress the various groups, the last of which eventually disbanded in 1890.
