Cambodia is a country which has a glorious ancient history as the Khmer
kingdom from the 8th to the 15th centuries, which
has left the wonderful ruins best known as Angkor Wat. It was a relatively
peaceful French colony for 100 years, and is recently recovering from
a violent rule by the Khmer Rouge which saw the death of 2 million Cambodians
and the creation of a virtual slave state in an attempt to create a Maoist
agrarian nation. Like its
neighbors, Thailand and Laos, it is a Theravada Buddhist country with
many reminders of its Hindu and Buddhist past.
