Cambodia is a beautiful country, replete with an incredibly wondrous system of canals. But its history has been marked by the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot, which brought the nation to its knees. Although it has risen from the ashes of genocide, it is still facing a major crisis today.

Work with a man who had to watch Pol pots people kill his sister and mother. He basically said it was a line to get killed. His mother was a doctor I believe and his sister was a teacher. Luckily granted asylum in the US. One of the best guys I know.
Bless him
Back at those days pol pot the name of the cambodian or vietnamese is quite unclear but theories in cambodia today believe that pol pot was a vietnamese who planned the genocide, as he kill every one who is smart because the smart are the only people who can bring him down, he was a afraid of this 1 factor so anyone who dares talk back , show any signs of advanced knowledge he will torture if not execute on the spot. The pol pot era or better known is khmer as ‘khmer kr hom’ translated to red khmer, were the days that brought khmer from independent, powerful, smart, developed to the opposite of which. 😢
My mother was pregnant with my older sister during that time. She escaped into the jungles during the night. She was a slave captured by Pol Pot’s men. She realized she was made to dig a mass grave with others it was actually her grave and many others. She snuck out the slave camp by hiding under dead bodies and using a small bamboo to breathe while she hiding in a lake of dead bodies. Since I was a child I seen her wake up in cold sweat and screams from the ptsd she had. She is the most resilient person I know.
Please don’t call our country unlucky…we are lucky we had the people who survived and are rebuilding the community today! They persevered through war to live and extend our culture!
Love Cambodia
Determination is always an answer 💖
You don't even live in Cambodia what are you talking about
unlucky does not mean that the country or people or bad. It just means that Cambodia has gone thru a lot in the past .
But our country was unlucky.
My neighbor fled the country during the war. All but 2 of her 11 children died (some from starvation). She lived with her son, daughter in law, and two grandchildren (who were my age). She didn't speak much English, so my friend explained what happened. It was horrific.
7:19 shows stock footage of Japan with Irish background music while the narrator discusses Vietnamese domination of Cambodia 😆
This was an excellent video, thank you.
Beautiful and informative video. Thank You
You are so smart of understanding this Video
Please read my ebook

As a Cambodian. I felt bad for people during 1975 to 1979
and we cant blame the soldiers because if they said no they would be killed

Until today, most Cambodians still don’t know that it was King Sihanouk who brought Pol Pot to power!
Before the coup that removed him, he was against the Khmer Rouge and those caught were sentenced to death. There's even an old French interview asking why he was taking such a harsh approach. Who or what gave rise to Khmer Rouge? Studies done by Yale University points to the US carpet bombing of Cambodia for years and then the coup. The North Vietnamese army and China were big supporters of the Khmer Rouge. When the rest of the world turned their backs on Sihanouk after the coup, he only had China to turn to. China convinced Sihanouk to align with the Khmer Rouge, and the Khmer Rouge led Sihanouk to believe that they would overthrow the Lon Nol government and reinstate him. Sihanouk was not aware of the Khmer Rouge plans to wipe out people of a certain socio-economic class, bomb the country back to the stone age "Year Zero" and force the population to farm.
America is more to blame than the king
If the leader was being manipulating by foreigners, the country most likely will face a destruction. It's better to focus on the goal and what was best for the country as a whole. It sad that leaders during that dark period failed to search for solution before a genocide occurred. Cambodia should strategized plan A and plan B or a backup plan in case similar event was happen again. Your statement is 100% sound legitimate.
Maybe but the most who should be blamed is Pol Pot....I mean he was the one who was in charge and decided to be evil
Responded to wrong comment sorry
Thanks
Im Khmer and my ancestry test says I have some South Indian ancestry. Many Cambodians do.
Do you know that every Indian king of the Pallava dynasty had his name ending in varman (Mahendra Varman, Narasimha Varman etc), just like so many of the Khmer kings?
🙏 Great Cambodia Ancient Civilizations before the cancers of communism & extremism regimes destroyed the Cambodian societies ... Many lessons to be learn to avoid such miseries in the future for all of us ... 🙏
I would give the title of unluckiest country in the world to Haiti

Thailand lost territory on the left bank of the Mekong River. (Lan Xang Kingdom) or Laos) No. 10 to France on October 3, 1893. An area of 143,000 square kilometers during the reign of King Chulalongkorn belonged to Thailand since the fifth reign of King Naresuan. Will have to pay to France according to the Thai and French contracts are not enough. France demands 1 million baht from Thailand for damages against Thailand. Paying insurance that Thailand has to comply with the contract, another 3 million baht is still not enough. France sent troops to seize Chanthaburi and Trat for 15 years, the most painful. of Thailand to the extent that the inner boss has to sell costumes To bring money to Rama 5 as a fine, Rama 5 must bring a red bag. (money from the royal treasury) to use
@@AnuchasaraChannel interesting history.

Nice
🇮🇳Thank you for the information about cambodia.. before it, i didn't know anything about this country..
I live in Cambodia 🇰🇭
Been over to Cambodia twice, personally I think the Khmer people are some of the nicest people on Earth.
I’m currently in Cambodia, I figured I’d better find out some stuff about it lol
I love Cambodia verymuch...
In old javanese it sounds
" Jayawarman" w instead of v
"...Southwest Asia..." No.
My mom used to live there and is Cambodia
Some of the information contained in this clip is questionable. I know of another source which states that approximately 2,400 years ago, a large group of indigenous people left the Southeast coast of the U.S., sailed 6,000 miles to Southeast Asia and started the Khmer race of people. They also became extremely adept at raising rice crops. This sounds like the people who later inhabited the Southeastern Coast of the U.S. who also, were extremely adept at the growing and harvesting of rice which made other certain people extremely wealthy. Now you connect the dots.................................
Thanks 🙏 for bringing my unluckiest Country to live. Up to today Vietnam still stilling Cambodian Land in the modern day style. To learn more read my book “Unfortunate Cambodia” 🇰🇭 Thanks 🙏 Again
Not the luckiest but still stand proud as Khmer ❤️

@@makarahorth5080yes Thai culture influenced by Khmer
@@goshhaha7144 thais just a bunch of mix and painted over with a different name.
when was this first posted? This is antiquated information; look at the present day growth of Cambodia, it's nothing like this synopsis of the past
How does the present change the past?
Since the Khmer weakened, the Siamese and Vietnamese have been abusing the Khmer. Khmer has only developed in recent years
It's just sad, even if we did avoid war, the world brought war to us.
Sadly yes, but the Khmer people are amazing. A true example to the world.
This article is about to show the interesting facts about Cambodia.
Ankor wat
Facing to the west, because our ancestors built this monument for the future even, when the second sun comes ,the west will become to be the east , and a very even will happen in Cambodia. You know a richest country in the last day ,that your Bible says
An island in the east and the island in the west, where ?
It's Cambodia , not Philippines. Our ancestors still alive, they are preparing for a time comes, they do meditation and live in a deep inside of mountains. Sorry i forgot how English called it. (Kanal)
We are Khmer but the word khmer was written in complex style ,was read as khem mac rac not khmer. When Thai occupied Cambodia they read this word as khmen(r) not in the complex style, in normal style, so the word khmer was born , so we have to names khmer and Khem mac rac.
Khmer had the killing field because of Vietnamese they pretending to be khmer, impostor like Pol Pot , even Hun Sen , too.
Now Hun Sen is pushing khmer to very danger of nuclear by giving land to China, our ancestors, too predicted that...
I don't know a bout you said unlucky the Khmer empire avoid the war in the old war many people have war with this famous Mongol .
we were unfortunate becasue the momgols wanted to trade with the khmers but the chams and viets kept robbing thier envoys and geshi khan got old and died but before he died he wanted to wipe
them both of the map
@@Gambetdz But we defeated them 3 times.
@@Gambetdzghenkis Khan probably was too old to pregnate local women by the time he reached Southeast Asia. Could this be the reason why the people of southeast Asia are different from China or Mongolia?
I been to cambodia and disagree..it is lucky to have such strong kind beautiful people who struggled through the filth of pol pot and his vermin and are building a beautiful country
You said it.
I couldn't agree more. My country is probably the unluckiest country in Asia (unluckier than North Korea) because our territories were occupied by foreigners from 1795-1953 and went through the genocide and civil war until 1998. Still nowadays we have bad living conditions compared to our neighbors. Thailand and Vietnam are far developed from us. In the future we do not know what any worst things can happen to us.
So sad thruth😢
12:18 What does Hiroshima have to do with this?
Cambodia is located in SOUTHEAST Asia NOT SOUTHWEST
Laotians know more about cambodias ancient history than our own people 🥲
Please elaborate my Laotian brother , from a Cambodian
@@trilli7914 I’m not laos I’m Cambodian. A lot of lao and Burmese people speak of an old ancient war. The reason for the three elephants is they represent Cambodia Laos and Myanmar when they were at war with the Siamese
@@datboiderrty what's the 3 elephant reference about brother
@¡Estupendo! Stop telling lies
@¡Estupendo! Maybe you should stop leaning fake history in Thailand and go back to Mexico and focus on your own culture.
I can’t fathom how massive it is Khmer Empire Civilization was . Khmer King JAYAVARMAN Vll , build Hospital, healthcare system . Khmer King JAYAVARMAN Vll was the most forceful and productive Khmer King build highway, Guest House etc Khmer Empire were powerful and influential Civilization sadly to many neighborings people were battle and raided Khmer Kingdom . Khmer outlying provinces were sacked and raided by Thai and Vietnam . 21 Khmer provinces were seized by Vietnam and 19 Khmer provinces remain under Thai possessions ..😮💜💜🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️

This is historical information. minutes 4:37 that overlap both time and place with local historical records, China, India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Java, Mon, Champa, Nipun and Thailand, etc. (which have been recorded in the same way without appointment) with the kingdoms of Srivijaya, Dvaravati, Lawo, Srithep, Ishanpura, Wima. Yapura, Sikhotabura, etc., which are a large number of federal city-states in Southeast Asia. which was born before and still exists at the same time
example :
: Buildings with the same art and culture as Angkor Wat, namely Phimai and Phanom Rung, were built hundreds of years before Angkor Wat.
: KHOM is a civilization/culture. In Suvarnabhumi, there are many nationalities and cultures.
: Khmer is ethnic
: KHOM not Khmer
: In conflict ; There is a similar reference that KHOM built Angkor Wat.
: The word "KHOM"" has no record in any Khmer history.
: Also in corresponds to Khmer records that the first Khmer king was the "Tang Van" rebel, who led the Khmer people to revolt and kill the Varaman 9 dynasty in 1336, ending the city and dynasty.
: In addition, various cultural details in the castle also show evidence of linguistic civilization. Pallava/Ancient KHOM using decimal number language Unlike the Khmer language that uses a base five number base ... which is impossible for the Khmer community that claims to have been growing since the 15th century B.E. international base ten reduced to base five.
And based on which research paper ?
Where does the copy come from?😱🤣
Thai keep making up history 😂
@@samkhoeuth4819 Kun Khmer has no root and no culture that's why Claimbodia is trying with every aspect to claim Muay Thai and Thai culture. Khmer Rough has killed their own race by Pol Pot.

History is written by historians not just for make up by some stupid thai . It a shame that why thailand never past middle income traps cause it whole population is delusional

Idk but all the 'varman' king's names sound south Indian-ish...
To know the History of Cambodia, Khmer must know the history of the Chu-Han first and their descendant evolved into controlling every aspect of Cambodia government in all 4 modern day colonial regimes. Every book I read were misleading until I understand the Chu-Han that every author failed to grasped and truncated from the history of Cambodia. Every author also truncated the significant of the Mac Cuu Dynasty and concentrated too much on the linked to China that it's government understand very little about Cambodia people and society.
Why does nobody talk about cambodia?
Who care.
Because while Khmer empire was so mighty, due to many wars, most of records got lost. Today Cambodian cultures are too similar to Thai cultures and as a result most tourists do not visit or talk about Cambodia.

For your information this temple build The Great King from Tamil king Suryavarman now present South India State Tamil Nadu if you need more information visit Tamil Nadu in south India know the truth
