Abstract

This study examines how Cambodia’s history was rewritten during the period of the Khmer Republic (1970-75), after a coup d’état led to a transition from a monarchical to a republican form of government, and the war against Norodom Sihanouk and the Khmer communists (Khmer Rouge) supported by North Vietnam intensified. A diffusion of historical discourses by the government was essential to uphold the fighting spirit and claim legitimacy for the new government.
