No foreign nation took over Cambodia. The communist backed Cambodian Rebel's called the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia. Vietnam briefly occupied Cambodia in the late 1970's to set up a new government that could control it's own borders better. Cambodian rebels kept causing problems on the Cambodian/Vietnamese border, so the Viet's had had enough of it, and invaded Cambodia to clean up the place.
