Cambodian people experienced their suffering life since the Angkor empire had fallen. Statistically, in Angorean era, there were about a population of 70,000,000 people in Cambodia. Hundreds of years since Angkor empire had fallen, Cambodian people were killed by neighboring countries ( Yuon and Siem), war, starvation, and deseases. Because of leaving Angkor temple for long times, Cambodians themselves had not known that Angkor temples existed in their land because the forest had grown densely surrounding the temple. And then during the French protectorate, a French found the Angkor Wat temple located in the jungle.

When the French controlled Indochina, Cambodia remained only a population of 600,000 people, and the Cambodia territory was almost totally taken over by Yuon and Siem. At that time, Yuon and Siem had divided Cambodia into two parts of Mekong River.

Luckily, Franch put the colony on Indochina, and took back Cambodia territory from Yuon and Siem during Ang Duong King.
