When did it gain Independence?

What ways did it achieve independence: arm-resustance, negotiations, external pressure or colonial power wish to leave?

Cambodia gained independence from France on November 9, 1953. The country achieved independence through a combination of negotiations and external pressure. King Norodom Sihanouk played a key role in the negotiations with the French government, and there were also growing nationalist movements and pressures for decolonization in the region. The French government, under pressure from the United Nations and other international actors, ultimately agreed to grant Cambodia independence through the Franco-Cambodian Treaty signed in 1953. While there were some nationalist movements and calls for armed resistance in Cambodia, particularly in the decades leading up to independence, it was ultimately through peaceful negotiations that Cambodia achieved independence from France.
