KHMER ANCESTORS DID NOT ACCEPT THE VIETNAMESE OCCUPATION WITHOUT REVOLTS
1. CAMBODIA OCCUPIED BY THE VIETNAMESE IN 1820.1820 Khmer revolt. Resentment
with the Vietnamizing process, harsh rule and forced labor leads to a Khmer
revolt against the Vietnamese occupiers. The rebels, lead by a monk named Kai,
slaughter Vietnamese residents in eastern Cambodia before being subdued by
superior forces sent by the Vietnamese governor in the south.
2. 1840 Khmer revolt. The uprising broke out in late 1830s, but a larger one in
1840 broke out soon after the Vietnamese decided to install a Vietnamese
taxation system and to administer Cambodia's provinces directly, instead of
using local officials.
Furthermore, the Vietnamese imprisoned the Khmer queen whom they thought
uncooperative. The disappearance of their queen, however ineffectual she had
been, enraged and terrified many Khmer provincial officials who led their
followers into rebellion.

The Vietnamese are one of the largest ethnic minorities in Cambodia, forming an
estimated 7-9% of the population.. Distantly related to the Khmers, both speak
a Mon-Khmer language. However, there’re very few cultural connections between
the two peoples because the early Khmers were influenced by the Indian cultural
sphere while the Vietnamese belong to the Chinese cultural sphere. Ethnic
tensions between the two can be traced to the dark ages of Cambodia (from the
15th to 19th centuries), during which time Vietnam attempted to vassalize
Cambodia. Control over Cambodia during this, its weakest point, fluctuated
between Thailand and Vietnam. Vietnam unlike Thailand, wanted Cambodia to adopt
Vietnamese governmental practices, dress, and language. The Khmers resented and
resisted until they became a French colony.
Modern Vietnamese in Cambodia are mainly descended from settlers who immigrated
in the early 20th century. They no longer speak Vietnamese, creating a social
dilemma. They also have engaged primarily in aquaculture on the southern banks
of the Mekong Delta. Most are assimilated well into Khmer
society._________________________________________________________________
