Burma and Cambodia were strong powers in the 1000s, however, by the 1300s, they declined. However, Burma recovered from this and became a major military power while Cambodia just spiraled into chaos, with the Siamese, Laotians, and Vietnames chipping away pieces of their territory. Burma...

Rock and Roll which started in the US in 1955 or arguably 1954 with Bill Halley and the Comets Rock Around the Clock spread to some parts of the world and not so much others. From what I can gather no nation in Asia had has developed and extensive Rock and Roll scene circa 2960s to mid 1970s...

There are two legends concerning the succession of the Cambodian throne by a cucumber gardener, who according to the story, killed the last Angkorean king by accident and succeeded him. The first one is the official story told by the Royal Cambodian Chronicles, the second one is the folk...

How would history pan out in East Asia if Vietnam conquered both these nations during the Cold War time? What would happen to Laotians and Cambodian ethnic groups under Vietnamese rule? Would Vietnamese occupy these lands like they did the Chams?

so I have to write a historiography on the invasion of Cambodia, 1970. I'm not really sure how to go about starting the historiography or along what lines my thesis/theme should be. I've been playing with the ideas of... 1) the public's reaction 2) Secret bombings 3) something about the...
