Cambodia finally gained complete independence on1953165438+1October 9. To commemorate this historic victory, a tall and magnificent monument of independence was built in Phnom Penh. This building with national style stands at the southern end of Norodom Avenue, the main street in Phnom Penh, far from Tazai Mountain at its northern end.
At that time, in Cambodia, Sihanouk had hoped to make a declaration of independence at the same time as Vietnam's independence. However, due to poor communication between domestic parties, Cambodia became independent two days after Vietnam's independence, that is, 13 in April. Before becoming a French colonial power and entering the Indian zhina Peninsula, Cambodia was oppressed by the Kingdom of Vietnam for a long time, so it had a strong sense of confrontation against Vietnam.
