1912-1935 Ethnic Rebellion of Cambodia

Between 1912 and 1935, an alliance of native peoples in what is now Cambodia rebelled against French colonizers.[1] Their leader, whose name was recorded by the French as Pa-Trang-Loeng, united multiple diverse tribes, such as the Phnong and the Mnong, the latter of which Loeng was a part of. Initially beginning with a series of tribal attacks upon French outposts in Kratié, the conflict would escalate in 1914 with the assassination of explorer First Class Counselor Henri Maître at the hands of Trang.[2] The insurgents established the Nam Nung base, which consisted of thousands of kilometres of land. The war ended with a French victory during the Siege of Nam Nung in the May of 1935.[3]
