History of Cambodia

Pre-Angkor
During the 3rd, 4th, and 5th centuries, the  Indianized states of  Funan and its successor,  Chenla, coalesced in present-day Cambodia and southwestern Vietnam. For more than 2,000 years, Cambodia absorbed influences from  India, passing them on to other Southeast Asian civilizations that are now Thailand and Laos. (មុនសម័យអង្គរ មាននគរភ្នំ និង ចេនឡា)

The  Khmer Empire grew out of these remnants of Chenla becoming firmly established in 802



when  Jayavarman II (reigned c790-850) declared independence

from  Java and proclaimed hi

Dark Age
After a long series of wars with neighboring kingdoms, Angkor was sacked by the  Ayutthaya Kingdom and abandoned in 1432 because of ecological failure and infrastructure breakdown (ការធ្លាក់ចុះ នៃសមួយក្រោយអង្គរ)
