• 13:4513:45, 19 May 2024 diff hist +207‎ Laotian Civil War ‎ I added "also known as the American Secret War in Laos" with a citation to the Legacies of War online library. Additionally, I put the words "civil war" in quotes because (as it says in the next sentence) it is impossible for this war to be called "civil." It was not a civil war because there were external actors heavily involved with the war: the US Central Intelligence Agency, North and South Vietnam as well as the Soviet Union. It is misleading to call it a civil war. Tag: Visual edit

• 16:2016:20, 17 May 2024 diff hist +54‎ Laotian Civil War ‎ I added "also known as the US Secret War in Laos." As well as the word "purportedly" before "a civil war in Laos." I edited it to say purportedly because a civil war is technically internal to a country so calling it a "civil war" is technically wrong due to the involvement of North/South Vietnamese, US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the Soviet Union in the war.
