Cambodian rebellion (1820)

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

The Cambodian rebellion of 1820, also known as Neak sel Rebellion (lit. the holy man's rebellion), was a Cambodian anti-Vietnamese rebellion led by a monk named Kai. In 1819, Khmer labors were forced to reconstruct the Vietnamese Vĩnh Tế Canal. The Khmer labors were heavily exploited by being forced to do hard work, which resulted thousands of deaths from fatigue and consequent disease during the canal's construction. Kai, a monk originally from Wat Sambaur who claimed supernatural powers, revolted against the Vietnamese.
