Ask a Cambodian i cried so hard see the old good days of Cambodia and listening to my grandparents history of khmer past and how they Survived is very painful than putting a hot needle in the chest ( Love Cambodia 🇰🇭✊🫡)
My Grandpa fought for this Cambodia to still be here, but Pol Pot won against him and the other Republican Soldiers, and had to change his name to avoid death. My family lived through the Cambodian Genocide. My Grandpa was to work hard, and he was able to live and have 8 (now 7 due to 1 dying) Boys. Though some of the boys were born in the 1960s or something. My dad was born in 1979, 2 months after the Vietnamese Liberation Rest in Peace Grandpa 1935 - 2021
Cambodia was more prosperous before the outbreak of the Cambodian Civil War from 1967 to 1975, followed by the Cambodian Genocide from 1975 to 1979. It was the Khmer Rouge that plunged the country on a hard turn into the turmoil.
Ben Kiernan, a historian at Yale University and a leading scholar on Cambodia, has estimated that around 500,000 tons of US bombs were dropped on Cambodia between 1969-1973. Khmer Rouge furthur plunged it.
@Abbott.Mena-GgGg The Khmer? Which Khmer in particular? Let's clarify. The Khmer Rouge dissolved the Khmer Republic during the Cambodian Civil War from 1970 to 1975. The Socialist Republic of Vietnam dissolved the Khmer Rouge during the Cambodian Genocide from 1975 to 1979.
@Abbott.Mena-GgGg I am not an Indochinese heritage, that's for certain. I hold a nationality that has never been colonized by the western power. I hold a nationality that became the only Japanese-collaborationist in Southeast Asia during WWII. I hold a nationality to which the country was never associated with the Warsaw Pact throughout the Cold War. Viet Minh, Viet Cong, Lao Issara, and Khmer Issarak began from the loosely-structured anti-colonial movement during the First Indochina War. The French was defeated. Viet Minh, Viet Cong, Lao Issara, and Khmer Issarak (Later became the Khmer Rouge) became the Communist Insurgency throughout the Second Indochina War. The American was defeated. Viet Minh and Vietcong terminated the State of Vietnam into the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. During the the Cambodian Genocide, it was the the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Not Viet Minh) that terminated the Khmer Rouge from the unintentional communist terrorism. I am not in the favor of any Indochinese Communist Parties, and also look at the historic fact behind the war events .
The entire elite of the country was killed, only uneducated and incompetent people remained, and Cambodia was pushed back in development by probably 100 years in a few years. Pol Pot wanted to return Cambodia to the Middle Ages and he made no secret of it. He would do a little more and he would actually succeed. Cambodia is still struggling with this problem to this day and will continue to be for a very long time. This dramatically changed the future of Cambodia, changed the country's population and affected the people.
USA is about half to blame. Illegal bombing of Cambodia during Nixon era was like fertilizer for Khmer Rouge. Chinese funded the Khmer Rouge though, something a lot of Cambodians seem to have forgotten. China is ruining Cambodia once again in 2024. China is NOT your friend, always remember this!

Great video from the good old days, but the consequences of the SEA civil-wars are tearing our country apart and causing many deaths. Regrettably, the new government manipulated the Khmer generation.
This is what Cambodia looked like in the 1960s, and it looked and developed quite well. If it weren't for the destruction of the country by the psychopath Kissinger and the bombing of it to the ground, and then the destruction of it by psychopath Pol Pot, Cambodia would be a well-developed, wealthy country today and American were practically as bad as the Khmer Rouge and they also murdered a huge part of Cambodia's population in a short period of time.

1960년대 캄보디아는 굉장히 부유한 나라였네
저 넓은 도로와 멋진 현대적인 차들의 행렬과 잘 정리된 거리와 말쑥한 모습의 사람들과 멋진 건물들.
이때 크메르 루주가 나타나기 전에는 캄보디아 황금기였어요. 이땐 영화,문화,음악 등 전부 전성기였죠. 그런데 1975년 4월에 공산정권이 바뀌어 무고한 캄보디아 시민, 지식인,극한직업을 가진 사람들이 다 죽었죠. 지금은 최빈국이 되어버린 나락으로 가버렸죠...
사실 60년대에도 수도만 저러고 나머지 시골은 걍 옛날이나 지금이나 똑같았아요 굳이 따지면 크메르 루즈 시절에 지옥갔던거지
귀하의 정보는 어느 정도 사실입니다. 수도가 가장 발전했지만 다른 많은 주요 도시도 발전했습니다. 시골은 오늘날과 거의 똑같았습니다.

What a peaceful country. Hopefully nothing bad happens in the next few decades
Around 1965 the Singaporean government sent a delegation to Cambodia to learn from what was then one of SEA's most prosperous countries.
Thank you so much for sharing this treasure footage about Cambodia . That was the best time for my beloved parent and to all Cambodia people . ❤️🙏😔

Cambodia's suffering has no one to blame but its corrupt leaders, then, and now!
Beautiful. So clean and orderly compare to present. Hope to see the current condition improve significantly
As a cambodian i truly love the past
I agree brother
Only in the 1950
Me too 💪💪💪
Past is just a shadow in our head 😔
Cambodia was a really wealthy and prosperous nation for its time in the 60s and it’s no wonder why it’s also called the golden age of Cambodia.
Phnom Penh was so advanced in 1960s
I really like Cambodia in 1960s.
The one edit I’ve been waiting for
I jus wanna see what would might happen in the future for Cambodia if the genecide never happen, we would been like a top asian country

I like cambodia so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
after a long time, u post!
Pol Pot: Too urbanized!
Remember to maintain peace and unite! Khmer te mouy, nhom Khmer Mekong (Khmer Krom)
We should turned back time!
the fact that many of those fine free people in this video were died of hunger or brutally killed during regime of the khmers rouges makes me vomit
Very nice!
Lots of trees and lakes but now it’s almost gone by our government! 😢
You crazy? City need to develop , every where in Phnom Penh are lake we need to build street
We can’t buy resources from other countries to advance, eh?
I cried😢
Look at all those soon to be new people : (
That privileged man in the Rolls Royce plunged Cambodia into darkness.
US involvement in the domestic politics was, as usual, the reason for Camodia's downfall.
Can you provide more details?

China and USA both to blame for emergence of the Khmer Rouge.
It was a Russian job...
@@ivobausch6193 No, it wasn't. The USSR was an enemy of the Khmer Rouge and had no affiliation with them.
see some American cars 67 camero , 62-63 ford t bird ,1962-64 corvair greenbrier van 64 Plymouth valiant
Just don’t show us what the rural areas of cambodia looked like
Cambodya & Pol Pot = Ganzberg
1896
Cambodia was still french back in 1898 and a few years before Philippines became independent
Wrong date
😢
Aaaa sdach shkear kontir destroyed my lovely country
Damn Pol Pot
เจอเขมรแดงไปอยู่เกียร์เลยดิ
