Best Answer

Because of Cambodia had many wars since the past. The dark age(1593-1863), this period Cambodia got in control by Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. French Colonial Rule(1863-1953), so much threat from the neighbor, Cambodia asked France for protection. Japanese Occupation of Cambodia(1941-1945), France still remained controlled over Cambodia while Japan occupied in Cambodia. Cambodian Genocide or Khmer Rouge(1975-1979), million Cambodians were killed by Khmer Rouge and starvation. Cambodian-Vietnamese War(1975-1989), after the Khmer Rouge lost its power in controlling Cambodia, it came back to fight Vietnamese. And today Cambodian President is under control of Vietnam. Cambodia is also in developing situation.
