Laos

Explanation:

Laos was colonized by the French in the late 19th century and annexed to French Indochina in 1893. They changed the traditional name of the country of Lao to Laos.

In 1949, Laos gained autonomy and regained its independence only in November 1953.

From 1953 to 1975, a civil war was fought in Laos between the communist guerrilla movement Pathet Lao and the royal government of Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma. Pathet Lao was primarily assisted by North Vietnam, with whom he had close cooperation.
