老挝是地处东南亚的内陆小国,于二战后摆脱法国殖民统治获得独立,但很快又成为美国冷战政策的实施对象,受到了美国逐步深入的干涉和左右。学者关注较多的一直是老挝危机时期美国在老挝采取的应对措施,但冷战初期美国对老挝政策从何起始、又经历了怎样逐步深入的过程,也是值得探讨和研究的。 Laos, a small inland country located in Southeast Asia, gained independence from the French colonial rule after World War II. However, it soon became the object of the U.S. Cold War policy and was gradually interfered and controlled by the United States. Scholars have been paying more attention to the response the United States took in Laos during the Lao crisis. However, it is worth discussing and studying how the United States started its policy toward Laos in the early part of the Cold War.
