Скачать или смотреть Franco Thai War 1940–41: Cambodia’s Darkest Hour under Siam and Japan

In the shadows of World War II, Cambodia once again became a battlefield for foreign ambitions. The Franco-Thai War of 1940–41 was not simply a border conflict—it was a dark chapter of betrayal, occupation, and suffering. Backed by Imperial Japan, Thailand seized the opportunity of France’s weakness after its defeat in Europe. Siamese forces marched into Battambang and Siem Reap, reviving old territorial claims and plunging western Cambodia into another cycle of loss.

This war, often forgotten in mainstream history, forced Cambodians to endure yet another occupation. Schools, pagodas, and villages suffered, while the once-proud provinces were absorbed under foreign control. The war ended not through Cambodian choice, but through the intervention of Japan, which imposed a settlement favorable to Siam.

This is the story of Cambodia’s darkest WWII tragedy—a story of lost land, fractured sovereignty, and a people caught between empires.
