The Fall Of a Nation
__//**

** According to some people, the reason that the Khmer empire fell was because the demand for Khmer's resources was getting overwhelming and so Khmer's neighboring countries tried to take it from them by any means necessary. Others believe that Khmer's downfall was because they spent a lot of their resources on building Angkor Wat, and so when the monguls invaded, there was not enough resources to hold them back as long as they had held others. In truth it could have been either of those two theories because there are facts supporting both ways. China and India were in high demand for the Khmer's irrigation system, but on the other hand the Monguls were invading all of China and more. It is possible that the Khmer weren't wealthy enough to hold them back. **(shows rise and DOWNFALL of the Khmer empire)
