The Banyan Tree: Untangling Cambodian History by Bruce Sharp The banyan tree grows throughout Cambodia. It may reach a height of over 100 feet, and as it grows, new roots descend from its branches, pushing into the ground and forming new trunks. The roots grow relentlessly; many of the ancient temples of Angkor have toppled as these roots have become embedded in the cracks and crevices between their massive stones. A single tree might have dozens of trunks, and it is often impossible to tell which is the original. This is Cambodia today: a thousand intertwined branches, a thousand stories woven together, a thousand currents of history swirling in different directions. To understand Cambodia in the present, it is necessary to look at Cambodia in the past. Part One: The Seeds In the early 1960s, to much of the outside world, Cambodia seemed to be an insignificant country. For Americans, it was known only as the site of the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat: a small, quiet nation sharing a border with Vietnam. Vietnam, by contrast, was well known to Americans. The cold war was raging, and in the eyes of the American public the front line of that war was clearly marked by the boundary between the communists in the north, and the noncommunists in the South. South Vietnam was perceived as the first domino; Cambodia was merely the next. The subtleties of history, the blurred lines of political fact and fiction were lost in the analogy.

Royalty.nu World Royalty Asia > Cambodia > Cambodia News Books About Cambodia Search Royalty in Cambodia At the start of the 20th century, Cambodia was a French protectorate. The current king, Norodom Sihanouk, was elected by a royal council in 1941. In 1953, after France refused to grant Cambodia's independence, Sihanouk chose to go into exile. In 1955 he abdicated, but he remained active in Cambodian politics and eventually became head of state. After being ousted in a coup in 1970, the king joined forces with a rebel group, the Khmer Rouge, who seized power and made Sihanouk their head of state. He was eventually placed under house arrest by the regime. Over 1 million people died during the Khmer Rouge's brutal reign. Sihanouk went into exile in 1981 but returned in 1991 after the Khmer Rouge signed a peace treaty with opposing groups. In 1993 Cambodia once more became a constitutional monarchy with Sihanouk as king.

Chronology of Cambodian History Memorandum From William J. Jorden of the National Security Council Staff to the President's Special Assistant (Rostow) Washington, September 20, 1966. SUBJECT Cambodia I had an interesting talk yesterday with Ambassador Noel Deschamps, the Australian envoy in Cambodia. He is on two months leave. The more interesting points were: 1. The most significant development in Cambodia in recent months has been the drift away from Red China. It is the product of several things: Peking's taking Sihanouk for granted; its rejection of his plan to beef up the ICC to oversee his borders; its repudiation of the Geneva Agreements, which Sihanouk sees as a bulwark to his country's position. 2. The deGaulle visit was a plus in one important respect: France has replaced Communist China as Cambodia's "best friend." This relates to (1) above. 3. Sihanouk's principal interest in life is getting the broadest possible international recognition of and support for his borders. (We ought to keep this in mind when and if Harriman ever gets to Phnom Penh.) 4. It was the handling of the recent border incidentrather than the incident itselfthat pushed Sihanouk into cancelling the Harriman trip. On a more recent incidentwhich occurred just before Deschamps' departureSihanouk was asked about it; he replied: "That kind of thing happens in war." (I would suggest that Sihanouk's volatility gives no assurance he might not go through the roof on the next one!)

The Struggle for Independence THE FRENCH COLONIAL PERIOD, 1887-1953 When Norodom died in 1904, the French passed over his sons and set his brother Sisowath (1904-27) on the throne. Sisowath's branch of the royal family was considered more cooperative than that of Norodom because the latter was viewed as partly responsible for the revolts of the 1880s and because Norodom's favorite son, Prince Yukanthor, had stirred up publicity abroad about French colonial injustices. During their generally peaceful reigns, Sisowath and his son Monivong (1927-41) were pliant instruments of French rule. A measure of the monarchs' status was the willingness of the French to provide them annually with complimentary rations of opium. One of the few highlights of Sisowath's reign was French success in getting Thailand's King Chulalongkorn to sign a new treaty in 1907 returning the northwestern provinces of Batdambang and Siemreab to Cambodia. The Colonial Economy Soon after establishing their protectorate in 1863, the French realized that Cambodia's hidden wealth was an illusion and that Phnom Penh would never become the Singapore of Indochina. Aside from collecting taxes more efficiently, the French did little to transform Cambodia's village-based economy. Cambodians paid the highest taxes per capita in Indochina, and in 1916 a nonviolent tax revolt brought tens of thousands of peasants into Phnom Penh to petition the king for a reduction. The incident shocked the French, who had lulled themselves into believing that the Cambodians were too indolent and individualistic to organize a mass protest. Taxes continued to be sorely resented by the Cambodians. In 1925 villagers killed a French resident after he threatened to arrest tax delinquents (see

Cambodian history Migrations into the mainland regions of Southeast Asia from the north continued well into historic times. The ancestors of the Cambodians came with earlier waves that followed in the wake of the proto-Malays. The Cambodians are closely related to the Mon who settled further to the west but of whom only small pockets survive in Thailand and Burma. According to conventional history based largely on Chinese sources, when the Cambodians arrived in presentday Cambodia, two powerful states had already been established there by people of the Malay stock Champa , controlling part of central and southern Vietnam, and Founan (Funan), sited in the southernmost part of Vietnam and most of presentday Cambodia. Founan was at the height of its power at the end of the fifth century A.D. Some scholars, such as Nasuruddin, believe that the court of Founan had Indian dance and music which spread to the other parts of the Kingdom (1992:2), but Chandler (1992:13ff) casts doubt on the reliability of the Chinese sources. It is believed that one of Founan's vassals was the Cambodian state of Chenla , situated in presentday northern Cambodia and southern Laos. By about the middle of the sixth century A.D., Chenla overcame Founan and reversed the pattern of overlord and vassal. About A.D. 627, Chenla completely absorbed Founan, during the reign of Isanvarman I who married a princess of the neighboring kingdom of Champa, and extended his domains westward until it bordered the Mon kingdom of Dvaravati (Cambodia 1969:104). Before the end of Jayavarman I's reign, Chenla was showing signs of breaking up. Civil war followed his death, and the country split into two parts: Land Chenla (northern part) and Water Chenla (southern part), and Cambodian power suffered an eclipse for more than a century.

The Fall of Democratic Kampuchea DEMOCRATIC KAMPUCHEA, 1975-78 Mid-April is the beginning of the Cambodian new year, the year's most festive celebration. For many Cambodians, the fall of Phnom Penh promised both a new year and a new era of peace. The people of Phnom Penh and of other cities waited in anticipation for the appearance of their new rulers. The troops who entered the capital on April 17 were mostly grim-faced youths clad in black with the checkered scarves that had become the uniform of the movement. Their unsmiling demeanor quickly dispelled popular enthusiasm. People began to realize that, in the eyes of the victors, the war was not over; it was just beginning, and the people were the new enemy. According to Father Ponchaud, as the sense of consternation and dread grew, it seemed that "a slab of lead had fallen on the city." Evacuation of Phnom Penh began immediately.The black-clad troops told the residents that they would move only about "two or three kilometers" outside the city and would return in "two or three days." Other witnesses report being told that the evacuation was because of the threat of an American bombing and that they did not have to lock their houses since the Khmer Rouge would "take care of everything" until they returned. The roads out of the city were clogged with evacuees. Phnom Penhthe population of which, numbering 2.5 million people, included as many as 1.5 million wartime refugees living with relatives or in shantytowns around the urban centerwas soon emptied. Similar evacuations occurred at Batdambang, Kampong Cham, Siemreab, Kampong Thum, and the country's other towns and cities.

new internationalist issue 242 - April 1993 Simply... Cambodian history 1 Magnificent beginnings All roads in Cambodian history lead to Angkor Wat – and Pol Pot was particularly conscious of trying to emulate the independent greatness that the temple city symbolized. 'If our people were capable of building Angkor,' he said, 'we can do anything.' Completed around 1150 and devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu, it remains the largest religious building the world has ever known. Legend has it that it was built not by human hands but by Indra, the Lord of Heaven, who sailed down to earth for the purpose. Actually its creation was ordered by King Suryavarman II, one of a series of Khmer monarchs, culminating in the most powerful of all, Jayavarman VII, whose preoccupation was with building monuments at home and pursuing the conquest of surrounding countries. The magnificent buildings we now see are legacies of the insatiable demands for forced labour and military service that these kings laid upon their people – and which had their twentieth-century echo in the Khmer Rouge. 2 Under French ‘protection’ The abandonment of Angkor 3 Faith and fire Early Cambodia was largely Hindu in religion, though this was always mingled with a large measure of animism. There was a Mahayana Buddhist tradition too but when Buddhism eventually became established it was the Theravada strain (imported from Sri Lanka via Burma) which took hold.

Answer While doing some looking around on this, I have found that the government does not have a straight SECRETARY of STATE, like the United States does. I am not sure whether this was the case back in the period of time you are asking about, but I am finding references to a "Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs", for instance...but not a straight Secretary of State. Now, having said that, I have found that: The Foreign Minister of Cambodia in late 1951 was Oum Chheang Sun, who in 1956 becomes Premier. In July of 1952, after Prince Sihanouk took power, the Foreign Minister was Prince Norodom Songdeth.

Cambodian History and Personal Stories Ancient Cambodia Chhun Ly Chhun Ly 's Story in Historical Context ... Today Ancient Cambodia The movement of the Khmer people before they came to Cambodia is not clear. By 800 A.D., there were large numbers of Cambodians living in the area surrounding the Tonle Sap or "Great Lake." They lived on the rice and fish of the area. There were probably more Khmers there at that time then there are people in all of Cambodia today. They were hardworking and clever and their rulers became very powerful. The years 802-1431 A.D. in Cambodian history were called the Angkor Period. During that time, the Khmer kings ruled over one of the largest regions in all of Southeast Asia. Many different kings ruled during the Angkor Period, and most of them were very religious. Their Hindu religious rituals were very important to the people and to the culture, and it was these beliefs that made the Khmer kingdom so powerful. A Khmer king could associate himself with a particular Hindu god, and then, construct a huge, pyramid-like temple to honor the god, and himself. Eventually this would serve as the king's tomb. So Angkor, therefore, can be described as a succession of "king-cities" where each king built his own monument, and then moved the capital there.
