Cambodia

There exists a country in Southern Asia, known as Cambodia. This is a small and poor country that experienced dramatic changes in the past century.

angered the people in the Congress, which led to a limited power of a president. During his presidency, Nixon ordered an annihilation to the base camp in Cambodia. Although, Cambodia was a neutral nation, he declared a bomb in order to eliminate the base camps that were assisting others. Before he publicly announced his choice to bomb Cambodia, he’d been secretly invading them without the public nor the Congress knowledge.

Anyone who attempted to disobey or refuse to do something was automatically shot and killed. The people in Cambodia did not live in

Long time ago, there was one couple who lived in a small village in Cambodia. They married with each other since they both were both 24 years old. A year after married, they decided to run a small business in order to support their life and everyday expansion. Unfortunately, the business did not go very well and they did not have any children.
