	Cambodia - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Cambodia is the successor state of the mighty Khmer Empire, which ruled most of the Indochinese Peninsula between the 11th and 14th centuries.
		Cambodia was a protectorate of France from 1863 until the country received independence in 1953.
		Cambodia has an area of about 181,040 square kilometers, sharing an 800-kilometer border with Thailand on the north and west, a 541-kilometer border with Laos on the northeast, and a 1,228-kilometer border with Vietnam on the east and southeast.

	Radio Australia - News - Cambodia debates military conscription (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Cambodia's parliament has begun debating a law that would require all Cambodians aged 18 to 30 to serve in the military for 18 months.
		Cambodia's Defence Minister, Tea Banh, says the new military service law is intended to build the country's forces to protect the nation, but opposition MPs say conscription would be a waste of money.
		Cambodia's military stands at more than 112,000, but as many as 40,000 of those soldiers are either disabled or elderly.

	Cambodia - Foreign Troops and Advisers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the late 1980s, Vietnamese units stationed in Cambodia represented a military force that had broken away from its revolutionary tradition and had become an army of occupation, a dramatic role change in view of the fact that its most formidable adversaries, the Khmer Rouge, were fellow communists and former allies.
		Military units totalling as many as 200,000 troops invaded Cambodia at the end of 1978 to eradicate the Khmer Rouge regime of Democratic Kampuchea and to install a more pliant government in Phnom Penh.
		Units in Cambodia were composed of conscripts from the southern provinces of Vietnam, or, according to refugee accounts, of military misfits and "troublemakers." Some Vietnamese defectors in Thailand declared that they had volunteered for military service to get out of Vietnam and to have an opportunity for resettlement in third countries.

	Cambodia (10/06)
		Although Cambodia had a rich and powerful past under the Hindu state of Funan and the Kingdom of Angkor, by the mid-19th century the country was on the verge of dissolution.
		The Royal Government of Cambodia, formed on the basis of elections internationally recognized as free and fair, was established on September 24, 1993.
		This aid was used primarily to repair damage caused by Cambodia’s war of independence from France, to support internal security forces, and for the construction of an all-weather road to the seaport of Sihanoukville, which gave Cambodia its first direct access to the sea and access to the southwestern hinterlands.

	Cambodia - MILITARY DEVELOPMENTS UNDER THE KHMER ROUGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The 68,000-member Khmer Rouge-dominated CPNLAF force that completed its conquest of Cambodia in April 1975 was a highly dedicated and disciplined peasant army, trained in the rigors of guerrilla warfare as well as in full-scale combat.
		The Khmer Rouge units were commanded by zonal secretaries who were simultaneously party and military officers, some of whom were said to have manifested "warlord characteristics." Troops from one zone frequently were sent to another zone to enforce discipline.
		It was such efforts to discipline zonal secretaries and their dissident or ideologically impure cadres that gave rise to the purges that were to decimate RAK ranks, to undermine the morale of the victorious army, and to generate the seeds of rebellion.

	Text of Richard Nixon's Speech regarding the Incursion (Invasion) of Cambodia
		Cambodia, a small country of 7 million people, has been a neutral nation since the Geneva agreement of 1954 - an agreement, incidentally, which was signed by the Government of North Vietnam.
		Cambodia, as a result of this, has sent out a call to the United States, to a number of other nations, for assistance.
		But the aid we will provide will be limited to the purpose of enabling Cambodia to defend its neutrality and not for the purpose of making it an active belligerent on one side or the other.

	Pol Pot, Pol Pot Massacre, Pol Pot Genocide, Cambodia Genocide
		An attempt by Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot to form a Communist peasant farming society resulted in the deaths of 25 percent of the country's population from starvation, overwork and executions.
		That same year, the U.S. invaded Cambodia to expel the North Vietnamese from their border encampments, but instead drove them deeper into Cambodia where they allied themselves with the Khmer Rouge.
		Throughout Cambodia, deadly purges were conducted to eliminate remnants of the "old society" - the educated, the wealthy, Buddhist monks, police, doctors, lawyers, teachers, and former government officials.

	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.

	30 Years Later - Are US Marines Coming To Cambodia?
		Cambodia although geographical large by comparison to its regional neighbors is a small country with regards to its population.
		Cambodia, and more specifically the area around its southern port town of Sihanoukville and its quickly growing oil bunker facilities, deep water piers and eventual offshore platforms, represent important and growing strategic targets.
		Although coincidental once again, in the same edition of the Bangkok Post announcing to the world that Cambodia is the next terrorist haven, a small article appeared in which the US and Japan announced in joint statements that they would hold talks on reducing the controversial US troop presence on Okinawa Island.

	NDI - National Democratic Institute for International Affairs
		Throughout the 1970s, 1980s and into the early 1990s, Cambodia was plagued by the existence of fractionalized partisan military formations that aggravated political rivalries, and by soldiers who tried to seize political power.
		This, however, only constitutes the first of many steps that Cambodia will have to take if it is to successfully transform its armed force into an organization that supports and serves a modern state governed by democratically elected civilians.
		Successful military reform will require the engagement and cooperation of all sectors of society: the military itself, government, and civil society.

	Made in Vietnam, cut in Cambodia
		During this decade Vietnamese loggers have been illegally felling trees in Cambodia, especially in Ratanakiri Province, to obtain wood to be used in manufactured garden furniture exported to Europe.
		This state of affairs gives rise to the potential that the Cambodian public will see the logging crackdown as an infringement of their rights and livelihood, rather than as a serious effort to bring industrial scale operators under control for the benefit of the entire country and its population.
		The military: The removal of various military leaders from their posts due to their involvement in illegal logging operations is welcomed, but Global Witness' intelligence indicates that military controlled logging operations are continuing in many areas including Bokor and Aural protected areas, Stung Treng, Koh Kong, Kompong Thom, Pursat and Kratie.

	Cambodia at War
		Military officers appear to hold ultimate authority over civilian residents, and efforts by civilian authorities to assert control over military abuses have met with stiff resistance.
		Cambodia is one of the world’s most heavily mined countries, with an estimated eight million landmines in its soil, and the highest proportion of amputees of any country.
		Landmines kill and maim indiscriminately long after any immediate military objective is past, and their prevalence has taken a terrible toll on the villagers of Cambodia, dramatically reducing the land available for agriculture and settlement, and slowing Cambodia’s reconstruction and development.

	US Congress threatens conditions on military aid to Cambodia
		As Cambodia gears up for this weekend's election clouded by claims of pre-vote intimidation, the US Congress is tightening the screws on Prime Minister Hun Sen, demanding he come clean on who plotted previous political crimes.
		Another congressional source said: "Cambodia is a swamp, which allows terror and extremism to breed," arguing that as a strongman, leader Hun Sen has the power but not the motive to tackle the country's culture of "impunity."
		No IMET has been offered to Cambodia since 1997 because of Prince Ranariddh's ouster, although the State Department has tentatively requested 200,000 dollars in such aid for 2004 in case the earlier restrictions are lifted.

	American Rhetoric: Richard M. Nixon -- Cambodian Incursion Address
		Cambodia -- a small country of seven million people -- has been a neutral nation since the Geneva Agreement of 1954, an agreement, incidentally, which was signed by the government of North Vietnam.
		For the previous four years, from 1965 to 1969, we did not have any diplomatic mission whatever in Cambodia, and for the past five years we have provided no military assistance whatever and no economic assistance to Cambodia.
		Because if this enemy effort succeeds, Cambodia would become a vast enemy staging area and a springboard for attacks on South Vietnam along 600 miles of frontier: a refuge where enemy troops could return from combat without fear of retaliation.

		Domestically, Sihanouk's sporadic harassment of the leftists and the withdrawal of his endorsement from all candidates in the 1966 elections cost the radicals their chance for victory and alienated them from the prince as well.
		In addition to these regional developments and the clash of interests among Phnom Penh's politicized elite, social tensions also were creating a favorable environment for the growth of a domestic communist insurgency in the rural areas.
		To prevent this from happening, they began transferring their military installations away from the border area to locations deeper within Cambodian territory.
