Cam·bo·di·a  (km-bd-) or Kam·pu·che·a (kmp-ch) Formerly (1970-1975) Khmer Republic (kmâr) A country of southeast Asia on the Gulf of Thailand.

Cambodia became part of French Indochina in the 19th century and proclaimed its independence as a kingdom in 1953. After the overthrow of the monarchy in 1970, Cambodia commenced a long period of political and social disruption, especially under the Khmer Rouge regime led by Pol Pot, which was responsible for more than a million deaths from 1975 to 1979.
