Cambodia, officially theKingdom of Cambodia, is a country inMainland Southeast Asia. It is bordered byThailand to the northwest,Laos to the north, andVietnam to the east, and has a coastline along theGulf of Thailand in the southwest. It spans an area of 181,035 square kilometres (69,898square miles), dominated by a low-lying plain and the confluence of theMekong river andTonlé Sap,Southeast Asia's largest lake.

In 802 AD,Jayavarman II declared himself king, uniting the warring Khmer princes ofChenla under the name "Kambuja". This marked the beginning of theKhmer Empire. TheIndianised kingdom facilitated the spread of firstHinduism and thenBuddhism to Southeast Asia and undertook religious infrastructural projects throughout the region, the most famous of which isAngkor Wat. In the 15th century, it began adecline in power until, in 1863, Cambodia became aFrench protectorate. FollowingJapanese occupation duringWorld War II, Cambodia declaredindependence from France in 1953. TheVietnam War embroiled the country incivil war during the 1960s, culminating in a1970 coup which installed the US-alignedKhmer Republic and the takeover of the communistKhmer Rouge in1975. The Khmer Rougeruled the country and carried out theCambodian genocide from 1975 until 1979, until they were ousted during theCambodian–Vietnamese War. Peace was restored by the1991 Paris Peace Accords and subsequentUnited Nations peacekeeping mission, establishing a new constitution, holding the1993 general election, and endinglong-term insurgencies. The1997 coup d'état consolidated power under Prime MinisterHun Sen and theCambodian People's Party (CPP). (Full article...)
