Siamese–Vietnamese War (1833–1834)
Early 19th-century conflict between Siam and Vietnam / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Siamese–Vietnamese War of 1833–1834 (Thai: อานามสยามยุทธ (พ.ศ. 2376 – พ.ศ. 2377), Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt–Xiêm (1831–1834)), also known as the Siamese-Cambodian War of 1831–1834, was sparked by a Siamese invasion force under General Bodindecha that was attempting to conquer Cambodia and southern Vietnam. After initial success and the defeat of the Khmer Army at the Battle of Kompong Cham in 1832, the Siamese advance was repelled in southern Vietnam in 1833 by the military forces of the Nguyễn dynasty. Upon the outbreak of a general uprising in Cambodia and Laos, the Siamese withdrew, and Vietnam was left in control of Cambodia.[1][2][3][4]
