The History of Mainland Southeast Asia: Every Year

This video presents the history of Mainland Southeast Asia from
20,000 BCE to 2021 CE. It showcases historical cultures, tribes,
and states, classified by language family.
Major minority groups within the territories of premodern states
are shown with a lighter shade of the dominant state’s color.
In such cases, the boundaries of the dominant state are
marked by thick outlines, while the name of the
minority group is italicized.
Entities are labeled on the map with their most well-known name,
but shown in the key by their official or native names,
with reconstructed contemporary pronunciation where possible.
The reconstructed names of those who left no records
of their own are based on Chinese records.

Note: this periodization is purely for viewing convenience and is not endorsed by mainstream academia. I divided up the eras as follows:
Prehistoric (20,000 BCE - 500 BCE): The era before state formation in Mainland Southeast Asia.
Ancient (500 BCE - 68 CE): Early states form in Vietnam.
Classical (68 - 802): Mainland Southeast Asia is dominated by Indianized kingdoms such as Funan, Chenla, Dvaravati, and Champa.
Medieval (802 - 1431): The Khmer Empire rules over much of Mainland Southeast Asia.
Early Modern (1431 - 1862): The era between the collapse of the Khmer Empire and the start of French colonization of Indochina.
Modern (1862 - present): Mainland Southeast Asia since the start of French colonization of Indochina.

The Pearic in northern western Cambodia is correct though. They had their own chiefdom/kingdom before the Jayavarman II conquest. Chinese records from 600 AD talked about a Kingdom which is south of Battambang. There is another kingdom as well which is not mentioned in the map which is Sri Canasa which is in present day Ayutthaya. That kingdom is more of a buffer kingdom in Dvaravati area but based on researchers research the kingdom is Buddhist but accepted Hinduism and relied on slaves and trade and had more Khmer influence.

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

Nice stuff! The confusing thing I found however is that according to Wyatt's "Thailand: A Short History (2nd Edition)" there are no records of Tai people in Southeast Asia until after the first millennium (or something along those lines). Also, I believed that Pegu was a vassal of Sukhothai for a few years, also according to Wyatt (and present on a few other map videos like Thames Mapping's: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXi9ootsiruUpZI). I think Lan Na should have had its own box in the legend at least until Mangrai's death or its decline in the 16th century right prior to becoming a Burmese vassal. Also, another significant thing I found is that well into the first millennium or early second millennium, the water level around the Gulf of Thailand was higher than it is today (that might have been said in Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit's "A History of Thailand (3rd Edition)" or "A History of Ayutthaya: Siam in the Early Modern World", I don't recall). For the different language families, I think you should've color coded them somehow (in my opinion would be color-coding the text). I felt it was kind of weird that you didn't include the Burmese insurgent groups either. Great job nonetheless and didn't mind the delay due to the pain-staking detail it must have been to make this video from start to end.

[@larshofler8298]

Tai people did not move into Southeast Asia from China (today's Guangxi region to be exact) until the medieval times (roughly during China's Song dynasty I believe). This map here shows not just mainland Southeast Asia but also Southern China, since peoples of these two regions have deep historical connections

[@nezaros]

This is extremely cool. However I'd like to know what source you use for the expansion of the Tai peoples into the region. From what I understand the Mon controlled city states all along the Mekong and Khorat Plateau until conquest by the Khmer Empire. I don't think that the Tai arrived until rather later, 900s or so. This seems to put them in Khorat very early. Regardless fantastic work.

Siam, the old name of Thailand, was used officially from 1856, during the reign of King Mongkut, Rama IV of the Rattanakosin era, to 1939, when the country's name was changed to Thailand for the first time in the post-revolutionary era under the leadership of nationalist Prime Minister Luang Pibulsonggram, who was also the war-time prime minister. After the end of World War II in 1945, the country's name in English and other foreign languages reverted back to Siam until 1949 when Pibul, who was back in power after staging a military coup, renamed the country again to Thailand, the present name of the country.

I would point out that Baiyue were renowned for their sailing ability and Austroasiatics really seem to not have taken too well to life on the coasts and seas for whatever reason with Vietnamese as the rare exception. I think one of the more interesting findings of modern science regarding this is that those in Lingnan (Guangdong, Guangxi, N. Vietnam) were actually originally genetically Kra-Dais and Austronesians that underwent language shifts to Vietnamese, Cantonese, etc. For example, Cantonese like many other southern Han languages exhibit a significant Kra-Dai substratum. Any genomics papers on southern China can substantiate this. Nonetheless, there's something not necessarily in the languages of these groups, but moreso in their culture, knowledge and biological DNA that allowed them to thrive and prosper on the coasts and seas. Even Cambodians have some type of major genetic Austronesian-Tai lineage that exceeds their Austroasiatic one though marginally, which isn't seen (for example in f3 outgroup statistics) in the "pure" Austroasiatics that are more inland such as Htin Mal, etc. And even Funan (a precursor to Angkor Wat) may quite likely also have been an Austronesian kingdom.

[@auburntiger6829]

At 1:18 shows the Austroasiatic homeland being placed in Southern China, but that has always been a fringe theory in linguistics. The main theory today is that the Austroasiatc Urheimat lies somewhere near northern India, followed by the other most probable candidate, Indochina ("Mainland Southeast Asia"), since this is where the most genetic diversity is found. The theory that Austroasiatic originated and dominated most of Southern China is largely obsolete and not supported by recent evidence. For the Baiyue whom you labelled "Austroasiatic," current linguistics point to a Kra-Dai relationship, suggesting that the Wu and Yue natives most likely spoke an ancestral language to Kra-Dai or, perhaps, a sister branch next to Kra-Dai that had become extinct. Prior to the Kra-Dai expansion in Southern China, it's believed that they may have begun as an off-branch migration from the Pre-Proto-Austronesians, where one branch went to Taiwan and the rest of Maritime Southeast Asia, forming the Austronesian language family. Here, a second branch most probably left Taiwan and (re)migrated back to Deep Southern China, forming the basis for Kra-Dai.

@@TheDragonHistorian archaeogenetics confirmed that Austroasiatic O1b1 had already migrated to Southeast Asia mainland, part of marine and the Philippines 9,200 years ago. The Hoabinhians also contained Austroasiatic Halogroups. Around the Dong Son period, the Red River Delta burial remains were mixed between Austroasiatic and Kra-Dai/Austronesian O1a1 , might be the legendary King An Duong and the Ouyue tribes who partly integrated themselves with local Austroasiatic elites.

I find that the place of origin of Austroasiatic peoples was changed to Pearl river basin(that could be related to Baiyue...?) instead of Yangtze river possibly due to previous comments by Dr. Sidwell😅

I hope Dragon Historian doesn't get an F or he'll rename the video and put a "inaccurate" tag like what happened to his Austroasiatic video.

Excellent! One note, though: the city of Thaton isn't shown, and it was the capital of a kingdom since the 4th century BC.
