Poster made in the Netherlands, 1975. This has been hung somewhere and was an anouncement for a Cambodja evening in the city of Den Hague and the program for that evening. The text on the top of the page reads:”National Cambodja Week”.
While visiting Beijing in 1970 Sihanouk was ousted by a military coup led by Prime Minister General Lon Nol and Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak. US support for the coup remains unproven. However, once the coup was completed, the new regime, which immediately demanded that the Vietnamese communists leave Cambodia, gained the political support of the United States.
The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces, desperate to retain their sanctuaries and supply lines from North Vietnam, immediately launched armed attacks on the new government.
