Did Vietnam steal land from cambodia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The proper sentence construction should be:

Did Thailand (or Siam) steal Cambodia's Land?

Yes Thailand, and also Vietnam, they stole Cambodian's lands. They stole by war, and they stole by pretending to be friendly. Cambodian's land used to be bigger than France; Cambodia used to border China, that why many Chinese in Cambodia today. Beside, Thailand never accept this truth, they teach their generations that France and Great Britain cut down Thai lands and gave to Burma and Cambodia during the colony of Fr and UK. They also said that Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, China, and Burma took their lands. Today, Thailand is being the land robber over West Malaysia. Vietnam stole Cambodian lands when the Khmer Empire was losing its power. Vietnam came to control Cambodia along with Thailand. Then Cambodia asked France to help protected by entering French colonies.

--------------------------------

To some extent Yes (if Cambodia considers Laos and Cambodia as one country in the old age), but the French 1870's Indochina Map shows Siam stolen Burmese and Laotian lands so much. Laos and Burma used to border each other as neighbor per British 1780's map. There never was any Golden Triangle with Siam. Siam stole 64% of Laos Land (apx) and 10% of Burmese Land. While Burma, Laos and Cambodia were oppressed by The British and French, Thai took advantage of the situation, by stealing neighbor's lands and labors aggressively by renaming many Laotian cities to Thai cities, by pretending to protect Laos from the French takeover, Laotian people thought it was true and didn't complain. Now Siam made 2-3 lies to excuse. Siam should have returned all Laos land by 1954 after the French left Indochina, if Siam was telling the truth. Siam now saying the French occupied her land, this is so funny. Siam manipulated maps to post on wiki,etc.

The Chinese also took a small chunk of Laos, by changing "Sip song Pana" to Xiuanbanna by 1985, with funny story. The French protected Laos so well in early 1900's. They never lost a city until the French left,see Francois Oscar de Négrier. The stolen Laos lands are: from Lanna, chiangmai, Lampang, down to left-Korat, near Lopburi, including Isaan, down south left to Chantaboun (now Chanthaburi, to M.Trat (now M.Krat)) near Cambodia. Siam renamed everything by GREAT FRAUD. Siam also kidnapped Laos Kings and family in the 17 century. Bad Karma now is on Siam. As of 2018, Siam owed Laos 64% Land, labors, and damages. Please pay the restitution if you want to survive the mini-ice age. All Dams will stop working, no wind, no farming, no solar. Laos, the only country can create Solar energy during mini-ice age. We won't sell you any energy until you make it right. JP.

How do you say good afternoon in cambodian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a few ways. The formal way is to say 'choom reap sua' (not how it would normally be spelt, but shows how it sounds). You could be less formal and say 'sua sdai'. Local 'slang' is to say 'sok sabai', which is a bit like saying 'how are you (sok sabai je tay)', but you just reply by saying the same thing - 'sok sabai'! soos ' dai

What was Khmer rouge and Pol pot's relation with Cambodia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

How did this question come about? They have everything to do with Cambodia. Pol Pot was the leader of the Khmer Rouge, the Communist party which ruled the country, and killed between 1 and 2 million people in a very short time there, out of a population of 8 million, until the slightly less nasty fellow Communist Vietnamese army defeated them, at which point they fled into the jungle. The Khmer Rouge are called that because they were mainly Khmer (the main ethnic group there) and 'Rouge' is French for 'red' (i.e., Communist).

What is Khmer culture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Khmer culture a person's head is believed to contain the persons soul--therefore making it taboo to touch or point your feet at it. It is also considered to be extremely disrespectful to point or sleep with your feet pointing at a person, as the feet are the lowest part of the body and are considered to be impure. Customary Cambodian teachings include: that if a person does not wake up before sunrise he is lazy; you have to tell your parents or elders where you are going and what time you are coming back home; close doors gently, otherwise you have a bad temper; sit with your legs straight down and not crossed (crossing your legs shows that you are an impolite person); and always let other people talk more than you.

What is the type of government they have in Cambodia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The words I would used to describe the Khmer Rouge are much too obscene to be allowed on Wikianswers. Their government was definitely communist, which is where the Rouge comes from, as it is the French word for red. Yet, while most communists believed in modernization, the Khmer Rouge were unusual in that they favored a return to the feudalism of the Khmer Empire. Therefore it could also be described as a feudal type of government.

What was the Khmer Rouge responsible for?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Khmer Rouge, a name given the Khmer Communist Party by the Prime Minister of Cambodia the Party ousted in a coup of April, 1975, Lon Nol. Lon Nol had, with the aid of an American invasion of Cambodia, become the Prime Minister after routing the forces of the hereditary ruler of Cambodia, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, in 1970. The five years of the Lon Nol regime and the invasion of Cambodia from the air by the United States made the Nol government extremely unpopular and paved the way for the takeover in 1975 by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge.

The Khmer Rouge set about almost immediately to evacuate the entire city of Phnom Pehn, the capital, moving almost two million people into the countryside for "reeducation", and then set about the systematic slaughter of essentially the entire population of educated Cambodians. During the period from 1977 through 1981, an estimated number of over 2,000,000 Cambodians were killed, including a great number of children, who were said to have been killed so they could not retaliate for the deaths of their families.
