Without French at that time, The kingdom would not survive . Thank to French for saving Cambodia from the brink of extinction French had brought it back to light reviving all institutions and sealing off the kingdom from East and West molestations. Of course, colonial interest is their prime, but we survived from that turmoil. As you know we are the champion of blaming others beside ourself, the blaming immunity is our culture, that why we could not find what is right and what is wrong . Personally, I love to blame other thing that does not relevant to the subject, for example, because of Veasana, Kam-phal or Prum likhet etc. During colonial area, the seating French Residence Superior and their administrators were most young intellectual and scholars who are hungry to explore and research the new worlds . Please read the background of those individuals who wrote khmer history you see who they are.
