Khmer Issarak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Khmer Issarak was an anti-French, Khmer nationalist political movement formed in 1945 with the backing of the government of Thailand. It sought to expel the French colonial authorities from Cambodia, and establish an independent Khmer state.

Given the wide range of ideological beliefs within the movement, Khmer Issarak lacked cohesion, and split into factions soon after its formation. Many of its component groups later participated in government under Prince Sihanouk.
