In 1623, King Cheyjaytha (married with Yuan or Vietnamese King'south girl) Khmer was defeated by Siam and asked for help from Yuan to fight confronting Siam- after fighting Yuan asked for land in "Prey Nokor" for their people living in the East.

Later on, war for Khmer lands, in 1767 when rex Utey asked for aid from Yuan to suppress King Ang Nun who was protected by Siam, the princes of those both Kings connected their wars and asked for assist from both neighboring countries until King Ang Eng and finally Male monarch Ang Chan II became victimized King (who was crowned in the age of five –under the rule of Siam and Yuan) because of Siam and Yuan agreed to divided Central khmer Land they had ruled. At the sea and all delta lands had been signed and given to become "Cochin chine" of Vietnam by the Queen Ang Mey who at that time in detention there, in 1841, Vietnam grabbed all Khmer Sea and islands.

Later on on, Khmer people could not stand with it and revolted, they attacked Siam's and Yuan'due south troops in many places demanding for a release their queen and rule in

Kingdom of cambodia. Ayutthaya agreed to send a price named Ang Doung to Cambodia and "to rule the country and sent gifts to Ayutthaya every yr and also sent troops to fight along Siam's army when needed.

The King of Cambodia did not know how to fight only high educated, King Ang Doung always sent gifts to the King of Siam, sending troops to practise war for Siam at oversea and Cambodia had "peace" for a while where schools were built throughout the state for children to written report, do trades with Mainland china and India. In fourth dimension of under Siam ruled, Male monarch Ang Doung wrote "a hugger-mugger bulletin" to the King of France "Napoleon" asked for help, to liberate Kingdom of cambodia because the Male monarch idea Cambodia would melt down. In 1853, the King received a reply through a visit of a Catholic Priest namely "Mon senior mish."

At that time, King Ang Doung passed away simply Rex Norodom, the oldest prince succeeded to rule Kingdom of cambodia. Without chapters to oppose France, three countries signed two declarations, Vietnam and Lao were with "French republic Colonial" but Cambodia was nether "France Protectorate" considering of a secrete bulletin of King Ang Doung in the last 10 years.

French documents say "Central khmer people are innocent, promote culture and proud of enormous Angkorwat temples, non and so smart but innocent to their relationship." However, later World War I, revolts within the country erupted, demanded for contained from France in Sisowath era. In that fourth dimension, Japan invaded and ruled Communist china in 1940; war movement expansion came out from Cathay toward Indochina. Mr. Song Ngoc Thanh who obtains first law caste from France did not serve Khmer with French but connected with Japanese who wanted to liberate Khmer from France. The revolt movement consisted of Achar Hem Chiev, Achar Sour…including protesters as monks at Unalorm Pagoda…who coordinated with "Nagaravata Newspaper" published past Song Ngoc Thanh. A process to anti French republic for independent Cambodia was arrested and punished.

In 1941, Rex Norodom Sihanouk was crowned at the historic period of eighteen years quondam past French who idea that this King has a begetter Soramarith, relative of his mother Kosomak Nearyrath, sibling of Sisowath, so he could stop all odd betwixt the two royal families who wanted highest positions for their relatives. In accordance with the pregnant of the new constitution stated that "the constitutional King" but the country did non have independent yet-there were some rules, some officials and advisors to the King who were selected based on their chapters, but before doing something there should be approval from the French "Resident Superior".

The throne this time was nether French regime that took part with "Germany" and "Nippon" called "Versailles" and Japan let France connected ruling Indochina by allowing "Cambodia Liberation Movement" prevails. In 1945, Japan Toppled France and forced Sihanouk declare independent from French republic and it achieved on 9 November 1945 and Nihon put Song Ngoc Thanh in a position as Khmer Prime Minister. Non besides long for independent Khmer, Japan suffered from 2 nuke bombs, one at "Okinawa" and another at "Nagasaki" and surrendered-French republic revoked "Charles De Gaulle" and allies took back France from "Deutschland" and " Japan" were defeated, France came back to Cambodia after the terminate of " Versailles" regime and executed the traitors Full general "Petain". This time, Cambodia was under "French Colonial". Song Ngoc Give thanks was arrested and sent to French republic for imprisonment by General "Le Claire" who was an regular army Commanding General and King Sihanouk expressed his apology to the public and before France and continued the throne. Abroad from foes, Rex Sihanouk could play role in middle of a chase of Khmer politicians, the King himself became the head of state and also prime minister only Cambodia remained at security threats of "Viet Minh" and "elites" who were agents of Vietnam.

After World War 2, Cambodia prepared a construction of Autonomous Monarchy, prepared itself for get-go-fourth dimension general election in 1946 participated by many political parties including a Autonomous Party led by Prince Sisowath Yuthivong, a biggest party with a lot of high educated people who graduated from French republic. This party won the ballot.

Male monarch Sihanouk started to scarify for independent and stayed in the middle of land power. France pledged to manus over contained to Cambodia just in delayed time frame. The King departed to French republic to need for independent but unsuccessful due to

his immediate demand. On his return, he did not come to Phnom Penh; in 1950… the King visited Siem Reap province and other provinces, mobilized people, militia and brave women to carry wooden shaped guns showing of whole hearted need through propaganda and publications. France agreed to hand over a total contained on 08 November 1954 and the next twenty-four hour period King Sihanouk declared "Kingdom of cambodia Independent" on ix November 1954.

After 67 years of Rex's effort to obtain independent for Cambodia through Red china simply Prc leaves the King toppled downwardly by the hands of Lon Nol and Prince Sirimatak and further sent the King to received order from Pol Pot-depending on Yuan, Yuan used bases in Cambodia, used secrete path and violated Cambodia sovereignty and made Cambodia suffered from American bombardment, likely to lost lands. Khmer King from the past had received independent for almost 20 years, but at present it is not like earlier, nothing can stand by oneself to oppose foreign Chinese and Yuan.
