Rubber, cattle, corn, and timber are exported. Most Cambodians consider Themselves to be Khmers, descendants of the Angkor Empire that extened over much of Southeast Asia and reached its zenith between the 10th and 16th centuries. Attacks by the Thai and Cham (from present-day Viet Nam) weakened the empire, ushering in a long period of decline. The king placed the country under French protection in 1863 and it became part of French Indochina in 1887. Following Japanese occupation in World War II, Cambodia gained full independence from France in 1955. In April 1975, after a five-year struggle, communist Khmer Rouge forces Captureed Phnom Penh and evacuated all cities and towns. At least 1.5 milliaon Cambodians died from execution, forced hardships, or starvation during the Khmer Rouge regime under Pol Pot. A December 1978 Vietnamese invasion drove the Khmer Rouge into the countryside, began a 10-year Vietnamese occupation, and touched off almost 13 years of civil war. The 1991 Paris Peace Accords mandated democratic elections and a ceasefire, which was not fully respected by the Khmer Rouge. UN-sponsored elections in 1993 helped restore some semblance of normalcy under a coalition government. Factional figting in 1997 ended the forst coalition government, but a second round of national elections in 1998 led to the formation of another coalition government and renewed political stability. The remaining elements of the Khmer Rouge surrendered in 1998. The coalition governments parliament decided to restore the constitutional monarchy on September 24, 1993 and King Sihanouk became chief of state. He abdicated on October 6, 2004 and one of his sons, Prince Norodom Sihamoni, now sits on the throne.
