Brief History of National Independence Day, November 9 (Please watch the video below)
Cambodia under the French Protectorate The fact that France stepped into Cambodia this time was not Cambodia, called as it was during the reign of King Ang Duong. France came with a clear view of its own interests, which it had lost some colonial territories, and also remembered Cambodia, which had previously invited them to be its protectorate.
The main points of the Cambodian-French treaty, dated August 11, 1863, provided mutual benefits. The French Emperor promised to organize Cambodia to be in peace and order, to defend it against attacks from outside and to help the Khmer in raising tariffs and providing ease of communication by sea. In return, Cambodia agreed to grant France the Chroy Changva land and to allow the French to cut wood in the forests of the Kingdom of Cambodia to build ships. Although the Khmer side was somewhat outnumbered by the French side, some Khmer opinion believed that the Khmer could accept the Treaty of August 11, 1863, because France had not yet taken power from the Khmer king.
The Treaty of August 11, 1863, on the French protectorate over Cambodia, was strongly opposed by Siam, a rival of France. To resolve this issue, France agreed to hand over Battambang and Siem Reap provinces to Siam, which it later demanded back. In early 1864, France pressured the Royal Government of Bangkok through diplomatic and military channels to have the Royal Government of Bangkok send the Royal Seal and the Royal Crown for the coronation of King Norodom as full King in the capital of Oudong on June 3, 1864. By 1867, France and Siam had come to an agreement on the Khmer issue, which had previously been a conflict because Siam had the British behind it, and France wanted to transfer control of Khmer from Siam. In addition, a somewhat relaxed atmosphere had developed between France and Britain because both countries had become allies in opposing China, namely the Thai Phi Nh movement (the name of a secret society in China) rising up against both the national and foreign rulers. The treaty of July 15, 1867 meant that France agreed to hand over Battambang and Siem Reap provinces to Siam. Siam agreed to recognize France's right to impose a protectorate over Cambodia. On the other hand, France promised not to annex Cambodia as a colony like Kampuchea Krom. In its initial control, France took a cold approach. Then, on June 17, 1884, the French besieged the royal palace and threatened King Norodom, forcing him to sign a treaty that stripped him of all his powers.
The final stage was for France to turn Cambodia into a territory for supplying agricultural products to France by incorporating Cambodia into the French Indochina Federation. The suffering of the Cambodian people during the French colonial period The French extorted heavy taxes, ranging from personal taxes, land taxes, housing taxes, livestock taxes, vehicle taxes, business taxes, etc. In order to pay taxes as money for France, farmers worked hard to expand industrial crops such as rubber, as well as other crops such as rice, corn, soybeans, etc. But the crop yield was not good. The yield of rice per hectare was only 1 to 2 tons. Thus, poor farmers became indebted to middlemen and foreign traders. The interest rate was very high, from 100% to 150%, sometimes 200% per year.
The struggle of the Cambodian people Due to the exploitation and oppression of the French, the Cambodian people rose up in rebellion against the French in a series of times, such as the resistance movement of Krala Hom Kong (1885-1886), the resistance movement of Pisnolok Chhouk (1885-1886). Although these resistance movements were brutally suppressed by the French army, they continued to flourish until the reign of King Sisowath Monivong (1927-1941) and continued until the reign of King Norodom Sihanouk in the first reign (1941-1955). Cambodia at the end of the colonial era, King Norodom Sihanouk reigned during World War II. At that time, with Japan's success in the Far East and Southeast Asia, Cambodia also fell under two levels of control, France and Japan.
