Why are the two royal families in Cambodia

These two royal families in Cambodia are actually the result of French colonial rule. It has a history of more than one hundred years now, and Cambodians have become accustomed to it.

If you want to say which country has the largest proportion of Buddhists in the world, it must be Cambodia. Only 3% people in this country don't believe in Buddhism, and Cambodia is still a monarchy. The king plays a vital role in Cambodia and is the spiritual symbol of all the people. Although the current King sihamoni is over 70 years old, he still has children out of wedlock.

In other countries, if the king has no children, it will definitely lead to a power struggle, but this will never happen in Cambodia. This is mainly because Cambodia's throne was not passed down from generation to generation, but was elected by a special institution. So there is no worry about whether the monarch has children.

Incredibly, sihamoni is not the only Cambodian royal family. There is also a royal family called sisowath, whose members also have the opportunity to become kings. Throughout the world, no country has two royal families like Cambodia. The largest population in Cambodia is Khmer, a descendant of Angkor Wat, the former overlord of Central and South Asia Peninsula. The area of the kingdom of Angkor is five times that of Cambodia, which shows that the glory at that time was unparalleled.

It just declined for various reasons, and later Cambodia became a protectorate of Vietnam. However, Vietnam's oppression of Cambodia was too severe, which led to a national uprising in Cambodia. The new country, Wang Andong, is the ancestor of the two royal families. After Anton's death, his eldest son Norodom succeeded him as the founder of Rotodom Empire.
