The Invasion of Laos of 1971 was a military offensive developed by the South Vietnamese Army led by General Xuan Lam in command of 20,000 soldiers and with American air support that left the city of Khe Sanh in 1971, during the Vietnam War.
This mission tried to cut by land the HoChi Minh Route that contributed important supplies and troops to the communist contingents that fought in the South.
The action failed in its attempt to suppress supplies and reinforcements sent from the north to the south of Vietnam through Laos.
During the expansion of the Islamic caliphate, the Muslim
rule was often preferred to the Persian or the byzantine because of the main
reason that the caliphate extracts few taxes from its conquered populations
than the empire that it resides.
