Let's Imagine the French simply can't get Vietnam. Either because its Chinese, British, stronger idk. The point is there is never a "French Indochina". What could be their next colony instead? I've heard the French REALLY wanted a colony there, so I suppose that even if they never acquire...

The Khmer Empire fascinates me for several reasons. It was a highly prosperous and deeply developed empire, invented the first modern healthcare system, was larger than the Eastern Roman Empire, and remained Hindu in an era where basically all of its neighbours were Buddhist, being the only...

French Indochina, initially a protectorate in southern Cambodia, expanded northwards over time. But here I contemplate a scenario wherein France retains solely over a more expansive Cochinchina region Cochinchina was the most "developed" among the territories, and was de facto and de jure...

Ramathipadi I is notably the only king of Cambodia in its history to convert to Islam, renaming himself to Sultan Ibrahim. He did this after being implored by his partner (and eventual wife and queen), Neak Moneang, who was of Cham and / or Malay blood. The two had a daughter, Princess Dav...

With a pod after 1400, how can we get a Cambodian kingdom that not only is strong enough to avoid being colonized by Europe, but able to have an overseas empire of their own? Ideally if they can get past the technological disadvantage they should be able to take parts of Thailand and Indochina...

Like the title says, the challenge is make the higher population for Cambodia as the country of over 15 million people. The POD is the Cambodian independence from France in 1953.

Indonesia and Indochina have both been host to major powers throughout history, and each others' biggest foreign rivals. No indochinese power was able to dominate major powers of Indonesia, however (unless you count Malaysia but that's well after the time frame of this forum). Your challenge is...

After the withdrawal of Vietnam's occupation forces in 1988 or so, Cambodia was put in a delicate political position. For the duration of the Vietnamese occupation, a number of groups representing resistance to it formed, including the old king Sihanouk's FUNCINPEC, Hun Sen's Cambodian People's...

Before the Cambodian-Vietnamese War broke out and the Khmer Rouge was curb stomped, there were several futile attempts at diplomacy on both sides. The internally weak and politically unstable regime of the Khmer Rouge quickly lost their fight with Vietnam, leading to a regime change, so what if...

So, what would be the effects of Qing China deciding not to conquer the Konbaung Kingdom of Burma in the mid-1760's while the latter is engaged in a destructive final war with the Thai? Could Burma end up decisively destroying and crippling Ayutthaya for good with no chance of a Taksin figure...

Challenge: With a starting point from the 17th century to 1860s, make Cambodia, or the Khmer, come out of the Dark Ages, and become a regional power in South East Asia.

Fascism's emphasis on nationalism, militarism and the cult of the leader seem to me aspects that could easily make the ideology popular among third-world dictators. Fascism's conception of a national rebirth or recapturing past glories could make the ideology popular among the nationalist...

What if Lea Mek was not killed on December 3, 1993? Say the pool hall is not visited by any Asian Boyz gang members, and this results in a normal night for both the gangs. How would this affect the Wah Ching, and Asian Boyz? With no Summertime madness, are there any substantial effects on the...

As we all know, the government of Democratic Kampuchea, led by Pol Pot, caused a genocide, killing millions of Cambodians, most of them being ethnoreligious minorities. What if these scenarios happened instead? 1. The Soviet Union drops a nuke in Phnom Penh, with the reason being DK being an...

Spain invaded Cambodia during the 1600s and tried to spread their faith through Cambodia and probably in the future that Buddhism would decrease while Christianity would increase in Cambodia (and Indochina) like the Philippines? Would a huge Cambodian Rebellion occur after annexation of...

How can we wank the Khmer Empire, which existed from the 9th century AD to about the 13th century AD in the regions of OTL Cambodia, Cochinchina, and Thailand? Preferable regions to annex would be the Irawaddy delta (southern Burma), OTL Laos, Champa, the Shan region, and most of peninsular...

Your challenge is to have the Sino-Vietnamese War of 1979 to somehow spiral into the Third World War, with a POD after 1975 when the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia of which served as the catalyst for the Vietnamese invasion which led the after mentioned war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial Nothing hurts the cause of an evil regime like the truth and it sure did hurt the warped cause of the Khmer Rogue and rightfully so when evidence of their antics came out when the war between Cambodia and Vietnam happened. But of course...

As I'm doing research into the Sino-Vietnamese War, I found that it was highly related to the Khmer Rogue, that horrid regime that started all of that mess (well indirectly to be fair, as they were overthrown by the time the war happened). So I figured there must be a way to prevent the rise of...
