Cambodia

A summary about the country Cambodia.


Cambodia is a country located in Southeast Asia that shares borders with Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. It has a population of over 14 million people and its capital is Phnom Pehn.

It's widely known for its famous temple, Angkor Wat, and its role as being byproduct of Richard Nixon's illegal bombing of its border with Vietnam. As a result the country was destabilized and opened the door for the Khmer Rouge to perform a coup and commit genocide. The Khmer Rouge systematically murdered politicians, artists, and anyone who was educated.
