Sihanouk lost his power when Lon Nol asked US for help, then US overthrew Sihanouk. Lon Nol was liked an American dog, Nixon was liked his owner. After Vietnam War, Lon Nol allowed Nixon and Kissinger to oder US troop to bomb Vietnamese in Cambodia. But the one who hurt were Cambodian Civilians, the bomb that were dropped in Cambodia equaled to the bomb that was dropped in Japan during WW2. 500,000 Cambodians died during the Illegal Bombing of Cambodia from 1964-1973, millions of Cambodians lost their homes. US had weaken Cambodian military and indirectly helped Khmer Rouge to come to take over Cambodia. Actually most Americans did not know about because this process was held secretly, and also illegal, Nixon's Mad Man Policy had teared Khmer people.
