United Kingdom: Map of the World showing the British Empire highlighted in red, London, 1886. The British Empire comprised the dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates and other territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom. It originated with the overseas colonies and trading posts established by England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At its height, it was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power.
Oun Kham (1811 or 1816 - December 15, 1895) was King of Luang Prabang from 1872 to 1887 and a second time between 1889 and 1895. On 7 June, 1887 the Lao royal capital was seized and sacked; the elderly ruler barely escaped with his life. Between his two ruling periods he was exiled to Bangkok in Thailand where he gave assistance to Auguste Pavie ( the first French vice-consul in Luang Prabang in 1885). The last two years of his reign ended with the establishment of a French protectorate over Laos.
