==Etymology== | ==Etymology== | ||
Udon Khai is a combination of the words "Udon" (อุดร), derived from {{wpl|Sanskrit}} meaning "northern direction," and "Khai" (คาย), which means camp or temporary settlement. It was said to be the name of the first Udon Khai settlement. | |||
==History== | == History== | ||
===20th Century=== | |||
=== | The country was opened up to foreign commercial markets in its attempt to accelerate modernization. In 1881, King Rama X sign a treaty that formalized PLACEHOLDER COUNTRY DEMONYM control over the country. Under the protectorate, the economy was dependent on the monopolies controlled by PLACEHOLDER COUNTRY COMPANY. The wetland agricultural economy shifted from subsistence to cash crop cultivation. Between 1890 and 1900, starvation became more frequent and feudal lands were seen to be less lucrative in comparison to the foreign businesses that entered the market. Feudal lords sold vast tracts of land, including their own serfs, to the PLACEHOLDER COUNTRY COMPANY in exchange for money or local positions in the company. In the capital, King Rama X regularly invited foreigners in his court. His cabinet included foreign advisers, mostly PLACEHOLDER COUNTRY DEMONYM. | ||
The PLACEHOLDER COUNTRY COMPANY attempt to alleviate the growing expense of supporting excess serfs by evicting and transporting them to the cities. Although they were freed from serfdom in the process, many arrived penniless and lacking the skills to work in the modern factories and other foreign businesses. Slum areas quickly experienced a surge in criminal activity. The mass emigration of the rural population fueled instability in the overpopulated cities. The nationalist lords and reformist industrialists and merchants sought to expel or renegotiate terms with the PLACEHOLDER COUNTRY and to push for more fairer modernization policies that would truly benefit the nation's growth. | |||
