Although the coverage of the 1840’s overlaps with a study already done by Dr. Chandler,^ these years are important for a comprehension of the attitude of the Cambodian people towards the Thai and the Vietnamese during the 1850’s when King Duong tried to get rid of both these enemies and suzerains by attempting to obtain help from a far-distant third power, France, to safeguard his nation. It was also during those years that the Thai had regained their preponderance over the Cambodian court after three decades of Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia and their own two earlier unsuccessful attempts at military intervention.iv, 212penCambodia History 1444-1863Cambodia Foreign relations198110.25911/5d76332f05da42017-01-17
