Siem Reap Scene Siem Reap is the second largest city in Cambodia, as well as the capital and largest city of Siem Reap Province in northwestern Cambodia. It was little more than a village when French explorers "re-discovered" Angkor in the 19th century. In 1863 King Norodom, seeking to end the struggels of power between his own country and that of Thailand and Vietnam signed a protection treaty with France. France viewed Cambodia as a buffer zone between southern Vietnam and the British-aligned Siam. The French hoped the treaty would protect their interests in southern Vietnam. In turn, Cambodia relied on French protection to stop Vietnamese invasions on the eastern border. During World War II, Japanese forces allowed France to maintain colonial control but encouraged nationalist thought. With the end of World War II, France attempted to reassert rule over its' former territories. However, Cambodian conflict with Vietnam left France unable to control the push for independence from Cambodia. In 1949, France granted Cambodia signifcant autonomy, though the military and economy remained under French control. Ultimately, in 1953 Cambodia was able to declare complete independence from France but the French colonial influence is remains evident in many parts of Cambodia.
