Background
|
The history of Cambodia, a country in mainland Southeast Asia, can be traced back to Indian civilization. Detailed records of a political structure on the territory of what is now Cambodia first appear in Chinese annals in reference to Funan, a polity that encompassed the southernmost part of the Indochinese peninsula during the 1st to 6th centuries. Later, it was Chenla, that would replace Funan. The Khmer Empire was established by the early 9th century. Sources refer here to a mythical initiation and consecration ceremony to claim political legitimacy by founder Jayavarman II at Mount Kulen (Mount Mahendra) in 802 CE. A succession of powerful sovereigns, continuing the Hindu Devaraja cult tradition, reigned over the classical era of Khmer civilization until the 11th century. A new dynasty of provincial origin introduced Buddhism, which according to some scholars resulted in royal religious discontinuities and general decline. The 19th-century arrival of then technologically more advanced and ambitious European colonial powers with concrete policies of global control put an end to regional feuds and as Siam/Thailand, although humiliated and on the retreat, escaped colonization as a buffer state, Vietnam was to be the focal point of French colonial ambition. Cambodia, although largely neglected, had entered the Indochinese Union as a perceived entity and was capable to carry and reclaim its identity and integrity into modernity. After 80 years of colonial hibernation, the brief episode of Japanese occupation during World War II, that coincided with the investiture of King Sihanouk was the opening act for the irreversible process towards re-emancipation and modern Cambodian history. The Kingdom of Cambodia (1953–70), independent since 1953, struggled to remain neutral in a world shaped by polarization of the nuclear powers USA and Soviet Union. As the Indochinese wars escalate, Cambodia becomes increasingly involved, the Khmer Republic is one of the results in 1970, another is civil war. 1975, abandoned and in the hands of the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia endures its darkest hour – Democratic Kampuchea and its long aftermath of Vietnamese occupation, the People's Republic of Kampuchea and the UN Mandate towards Modern Cambodia since 1993. |

Nguyen dynasty, which is a fairly common formable when Vietnam is occupied by a player. - Rarely, Laos may take you to gain access to sea.
- Any country in Southeast Asia, needs the entirety of Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, to form the Federation of Southeast Asian States. Frequent countries that usually form are
Indonesia, 
Philippines, and Vietnam. - Thailand is stronger and borders Cambodia, which marks nation as a prime target for the expansion of land and treasury.
China could expand into the heart of Southeast Asia, and it is also the strongest nation in Asia, globally ranked second place as a superpower, behind the 
United States.
Japan requires Cambodia and to form the 
Empire of Japan, though it is a rare formable to appear in a public server.
