Post-Angkor Cambodia

Post-Angkor Cambodia was a state in Cambodia (Southeast Asia) that lasted from 1431 to 1863 CE, about 432 years. Its people spoke Austroasiatic languages (Khmer, Mon, Vietnamese, Munda).

Cambodian kings ruled from Phnom Penh, Longvek and Oudong, trading with Chinese, Japanese and European merchants. From the 17th century Siam and Vietnam fought over the kingdom and took its western provinces and the Mekong delta.
