Immigration Assist Homeless Japanese Man

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

They are very accommodating to the Japanese because Cambodia might not even exist without their help.
How so?
Well, sure Cambodia would exist, but many highways and bridges wouldn't be there without their help.
And the capital would be underwater.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Fact. But I'd still like to see Indochina and even Thailand as part of the Japanese Empire.

Umm... Cambodia was kind of part of the Japanese Empire.

“During World War II, Japanese forces allowed France to maintain colonial control but encouraged nationalist thought. In 1945, Cambodia underwent a brief lapse of French rule as World War II exhausted French abilities. “

That link is wonky. The period of Japanese rule here wasn't particularly brutal as it was in other places. When they turned on their former Vichy French allies in Cambodia and interned them all there were some cruel executions. George Groslier's stands out among them. The Japanese encouraged Cambodia to declare independence in 1945 but it only lasted a few months until the French decided to reassert control.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
