Cause and effects of Imperialism on Cambodia

In 1867, King Norodom signed a French protectorate over Cambodia. Under the treaty,
the monarchy was allowed to remain, but France was in charge of all the foreign and
trade relations, and military protection of Cambodia. There were both pros and cons of
imperialism. The positive effects can be divided into 3 categories, which are Political,
Social, and Economy. The political aspects of imperialism is that Cambodia, having been
influenced by France, is now a constitutional monarchy. It also influenced Cambodias law
system seeing as it is based off of the French Legal System. The social aspects of
imperialism are about languages and religion. Having been colonised by France, French
is the second language of Cambodia and the religions were expanded. Overall, the
positive effects of imperialism are that the economy grew because of crops, the education
were improved, peoples health were better and there are improvements of transportation
and communication. On the other hands, there are negative effects of imperialism in
Cambodia. First, Cambodian people had less freedom and had to follow Frances orders.
Second, after the plantation system was introduced, it separated the working class from
the plantation owners creating a system similar to the feudal system in Europe. Natives
that were forced to work on plantations only crop rice, but they were not allowed to have
them at all. Lastly, there were abandonment of rebellions, and the cambodian tradition
were changed.
The ideas of Industrial Revolution in Cambodia
The industrial in Cambodia cannot be stated at a revolution but it was the development
instead. Since 2000 BC, Cambodia is believed to be a mixed economy, that this area
used to be the place of Southeastern China to the Indochinese Peninsula Neolithic settle
place. From that, the Cambodians had rough ideas of economy about domesticate
animals and rice crops and they later on improve through the time, that they also lived
along the Mekong river. That have the same characteristics to the Mesopotamian
Civilisation. However, there are lack of information about the industrial, as most of them
were focused on the political (that link to the idea of colonisation). In addition, Cambodia
had been imperialised and colonised under French, Thai and Vietnam. After those wars,
Cambodian had been disrupted in the economic, because it was too new to them.
However, in 1993, Cambodia also had a huge growth rate in economy side, which it
embraced market economy dependent abroad; later on in 2010, they diversify the
economy maximise value and job creation by export rice. Including different events such
as Sihanouk regime, Khmer Republic, Closed Economy, State of Cambodia and UN
period and Kingdom of Cambodia.
Colonization
In 1864, Cambodia became a French colony. In the beginning, France did not control
much, but after France fully conquered Vietnam in 1883. France also changed the policy
of Cambodia government. In 1884, there was a big change concerning the taxation, the
policing and the abolish of the slavery system. The effects after this forcing revolt of
France was the rebel of the peasants inside Cambodia which had Sriwattha of Cambodia
as the leader. The result of this suppressing was that almost 40,000 of the Cambodians
moved to Thailand. The rebel took 2 years. The rebel ended when a new governor named
Philipini came and talked to Norodom of Cambodia to end the rebel in 1st January 1887
by France delayed the revolution of the slavery system. Norodom of Cambodia did the
notice and asked people to end the rebel. Sriwattha left into frontier of Cambodia-Laos
near the Mekong River. In the same year, France had established the French Indochina.
Cambodia was a protected state. So, they had highest governor as the representative of
France. In 1940, It was the period of the World War II, the army of Japan moved into
Vietnam and took over from France. In 1941, Japan occupied Indochina. In Cambodia,
Japan ruled together with King Norodom Sihanouk. In 1945, the World War II ended and
the Japanese left Cambodia. King Norodom asked the French to return back the land. He
saw that this negotiation looked to be unsuccessful, so he decided to go to the U.S,
Canada, and Japan and announced that he would not come back to Cambodia if he did
not get his land back. Finally, he got Cambodia back, along with Laos and Vietnam.
Cambodia had full power at army supervision after France allowed them to transfer power
of policing and power of the law court back to Cambodia.

Brief summary of the history of the social issue (based on MDG selected) in
your country: (causes of the social issue in your country)
- First of the reason why poverty happen in Cambodia is Low education.
- The second reason that bring Cambodia become poor country is high Population Growth
which refer to the number of population that increases by time to time.
- political stability, war, natural disaster.

The cause of poverty

The social issues in Cambodia that we chose to focus on are poverty. All of the issues are linked
and attributed to each other. The first factor that attributes to poverty in Cambodia is low education.
Children in rural areas do not have access to education as their parents cant afford school fees.
Instead, most children start working outside for a living from a very young age with no education
which in turn creates a cycle passing on poverty from generations to generations. The second factor
that attributes to poverty in Cambodia is high population growth. The population growth rate in
Cambodia is much higher than those of the developed countries. With higher population, the citizens
will need more food and shelters causing the government to spend more money on building a living
place. They also lack skilled workers due to low education and skill trainings because high
population growth needs health care service. The third factor that attributes to poverty in Cambodia
is civil war. Due to this fact, foreign investors is discouraged from doing business in Cambodia, in
turn making Cambodia has less economic growth and activities. A lot of people also died as a result
of civil war, children become orphans, and many people have their home and cities destroyed. Also,
many unexploded landmines are buried in many areas of Cambodia, making it very hard for people
in rural areas who depend on agriculture for a living to farm on the land, and other areas that arent
inhabited by landmines are mostly exploited and destroyed.

Brief summary of how the social issue (based on the MDG selected) has
affected your country (post 1945): (effects of the social issue in your country
current situation)
POVERTY:
- Poverty in Cambodia is affected from the war, including low income and consumption, poor
nutritional status, low education, less access to public services including school and health
services. Also, low education is part of poverty. Education in Cambodia is one of the huge
issue because they dont have enough schools, teachers, or resources. Some schools are
too far away from their house, otherwise their children cannot go to school because some
families are poor and their children have to work outside the house for their living. Cambodia
had get low of education because lost lot of scholar by the war, and the poverty remains
with the poor children who have to go out of house to work for their education.
- They led to lack of money that use to develop the education in Cambodia. From that, this
led the young generations in Cambodia had less opportunities to enter the schools, which
they cannot gain enough knowledge that they can use in the future. This led to they cannot
meet the requirements of the companies, and bring down the economic specifically of
Cambodia (also unemployment rate increase). Apart from that, they only can afford to work
in a low paid job, then this go through the generations in the family. Other than that, as most
of the job in Cambodia is based on farming, so they then have the perspective of having
more children, which the more family members, the more work they can get done. But then
this led to the issue that they cannot afford every single need for their children. Furthermore,
it can also lead to population growth of this perspective and also the cause from the lack of
education, which they did not reach the ideas of contraception. From that, they are
unaffordable to condoms for their own protection in relationship.
- After the poverty impacts, this also one of the reasons that can lead to low medical and
become the impact and dangered the Cambodian life. Including the hospital did not provide
 the educations to the citizens thoroughly as the budget is low, which it affects the
uneducated about health citizens in Cambodia. For example, lack of knowledge about
medicine, sanitation, contraception, etc. Sometimes, this then cause the people did not and
lack of their own health status and might risk their life because some diseases are hard to
find the symptoms, cannot be treat probably and endangered their life if they did not get the
healthcare service. From that, people can be treat randomly through a traditionally way of
the country, which can increase the disease rate to be dangerous, this can lead to
spreading out the disease into the cities.

Brief summary of what your countrys government has done to deal with the
social issue (based on the MDG selected): (policies in place and progress in
dealing with the problem)
Poverty
The ways to solve the problems of the poverty in Cambodia is to decrease the tuition fee of
the schools in Cambodia because many families face to poverty issue. They did not have
enough money to pay for the school. Therefore, some parents let their children work by
being beggars. Those children might agree with their parents because of no many choices.
Some people think that begging money on the sidewalk is the best way to help them to get
more money, but they were wrong because kids will learn only how to ask people, but they
will not learn how to do. Some will be unhealthy and get sick because of staying on the
dusty roads or streets. That will lead to the big issue of the country. To fix this problem, The
governments should establish the facilities such as education, healthcare with low price
because there are a lot of people cant afford the price and parents should sent them to
study, and government should decrease the tuition fee of the schools. Many families might
have enough money to let their children study and get the better job in the future. Studying
can help them earn more money because they will have more efficiency to do work than
other people who do not get the education. After adult having good job, they will be able to
to sent their child to go to school.
After civil war, Cambodia was chaos. In present, they are trying to fix the problem that they
got from the civil war, and the healthcare system is getting better. However they meet the
big problem, most of which is the price of health care system is accessibility. Abundant of
Cambodians cant afford the medical service in the hospital since it is very expensive. Most
of Cambodias health care system use the curative medicine. The most common illnesses
that Cambodians always get are from the water and sanitation such as diarrhoeal diseases,
Malaria, malnutrition, and tuberculosis. Most of Cambodian children will receive the vaccine
that against them from tuberculosis, tetanus, measles, diphtheria and polio. In the 1970s,
the Khmer Rouge proscribed Western medicine. That causes traditional medicine can only
approach in Cambodia at that time, especially in remote area. Therefore, the traditional
medicine become Cambodias culture.
