	Cambodia - HISTORY
		Cambodia enjoyed a brief period of prosperity during the sixteenth century because its kings, who built their capitals in the region southeast of the Tonle Sap (Great Lake) along the Mekong River, promoted trade with other parts of Asia.
		Cambodia was still required to coordinate foreign policy matters with the High Council of the French Union, however, and France retained a significant measure of control over the judicial system, finances, and customs.
		Cambodia's quest for security and nation- building assistance impelled the prince to search beyond Asia and to accept help from all donors as long as there was no impingement upon his country's sovereignty.

		The previous edition of Cambodia: A Country Study was compiled in 1972 when the ill-fated Khmer Republic was fighting for its life against the Khmer Rouge.
		Cambodia continues to be a desperately poor country, its infrastructure ravaged by war, and its thin stratum of educated citizens either in exile or nearly wiped out during the Khmer Rouge years; it is thus scarcely able to compile data that one has come to expect of other nations.
		A word of explanation is needed concerning the use of "Cambodia" instead of "Kampuchea" to designate the country.

	Summary of Cambodia's History
		The 13th and 14th centuries were not as successful for Cambodia, some believe it was due to the increased power of (and wars with) Thai kingdoms that had at one time paid homage to Angkor.
		Cambodia was ravaged by Vietnamese and Thai invasions and wars up until the 19th century, when new dynasties in these countries fought over control of Cambodia.
		A name change for the country was in order, so in 1993 Cambodia became known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and Sihanouk became the king once again after ratifying a new constitution which re-established the monarchy.

		With a rich and proud cultural history - as evinced by the spectacular Angkor complex outside Siem Reap and elsewhere throughout the country - Cambodia is fast becoming a major destination for visitors to South East Asia.
		Cambodia has been through a lot in relatively recent times, with the awful years of Khmer Rouge terror directly experienced by most Cambodians over 30 years old.
		Before Pol Pot and his partners in crime hauled the country back into the dark ages, Cambodia had suffered firstly under the yoke of French colonialism, and later during the Vietnamese war with the Americans, when both sides cynically violated Cambodian borders to advance their relative cause.
